foodtranslation

In most of the Indian recipes for dish items, we do heat up the pan with some oil, put some mustard seeds, cumin seeds, etc., and let them pop. What is the process called in English?

In the Telugu language, we call it "Thaalimpu", as shown in this video. The ingredients are shown at 00:24, and the process is from 00:30 to 1:51.

From Telugu to English Dictionary :

tAliMpu n. tamper; seasoning prepared by frying in oil a concoction of spices; the idea is to "hit" the cooked stuff with pungent mixture to bring out the taste (lit.) a hit; a smack; a spank

I think the dictionary means "temper" instead of "tamper".

In other words, "Thaalimpu Annam" translates as "tempered rice".

Several websites say:

Tempering/Talimpu

or

Talimpu/Tempering
