Natco Urad Dal Washed - 2kg, labelled Urid Dal White on the pack, is dried split black gram with the dark outer skin removed. The pale split grains are distinct from whole skinless urad gota and split urad with its black skin retained. This 2kg pack is a cooking ingredient for soaking and grinding into batters or simmering into a soft, creamy dal, with enough to portion out across several recipes.
Washed split urad has a mild flavour that works with ginger, green chilli, curry leaves and aromatic temperings. When soaked and finely ground, it provides the urad component in many idli and dosa recipes, as well as thick batters for medu vada. Cooked in water until tender, it develops a creamy consistency that can be left lightly textured or mashed further. The 2kg size suits kitchens that regularly prepare urad-based dishes and want to measure out each batch while keeping the remaining dry dal sealed.
Sort through the dal and rinse thoroughly before preparation. For batters, follow your recipe and the current pack instructions for soaking, then drain and grind while adding water gradually to control the consistency. Follow the recipe's fermentation guidance for idli or dosa, since ingredient proportions, grinding and fermentation conditions all affect the result. For dal, simmer in sufficient water until fully tender, stirring occasionally as it thickens and adding hot water as needed. Adjust the liquid to suit rice or chapati before finishing with your chosen tempering.
