Natco Urad Beans Whole - 2kg, labelled Urid Beans on the pack, is dried whole black gram with the dark outer skin intact. Also known as sabut urad or whole black urad, these beans are distinct from peeled urad gota and split urad dal. This 2kg pack is an ingredient for cooking from scratch, suited to dal makhani, whole urad dal and mixed pulse dishes, with the dry beans measured out for each recipe.
Whole urad develops a soft interior as it cooks, while the retained skin adds texture to the finished dish. Its earthy flavour pairs with tomato, ginger, garlic and warming spices in gently simmered dals. Leave some beans intact for a substantial bite, or mash a portion into the cooking liquid to create a thicker consistency. The 2kg pack suits kitchens that regularly prepare whole urad dishes and want to portion out each batch while keeping the remaining dry beans sealed.
Sort through the beans and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or your chosen recipe for soaking, then drain and cook in fresh water until fully tender. Maintain sufficient cooking liquid, stir occasionally as the dal thickens and add hot water when needed. Cooking time depends on soaking and cooking method, so check that the centres are soft before finishing the dish. When combining with other dried beans, prepare and cook each variety according to its own instructions before bringing the ingredients together.
