For tadka or tempering it is the usual tempering we use for chutney recipes. In some hot oil just fry 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp urad dal, 1 tsp channa dal, some curry leaves and dried re chilies.

You can also vary the ingredients for tempering here. Instead the ones given above use 1 tsp cumin seeds, green chilies and curry leaves too.
