Whole Skin-On Black Gram for Dal Makhani and Hearty Urad Dals

TRS Urad Beans Whole - 500g, 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 skinless urad gota and split urad dal. This 500g pack is an ingredient for cooking from scratch, suited to dal makhani, whole urad dal and mixed pulse dishes.

Why Choose TRS Urad Beans Whole?

Whole black gram develops a soft interior as it cooks while the retained skin adds texture to the finished dish. Its earthy flavour works with ginger, garlic, tomatoes and warming spices in gently simmered dals. Leave some beans intact for a more substantial bite, or mash a portion into the cooking liquid to create a thicker consistency. The whole, skin-on format makes this the appropriate choice for recipes that specify sabut urad rather than peeled or split grains.

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. Keep sufficient liquid in the pan and stir occasionally as the dal thickens, adding hot water when needed. Cooking time varies with soaking and cooking method, so check that the centres are soft rather than relying on a fixed time. If combining with other dried beans, prepare and cook each variety according to its own instructions before finishing the dish together.

Serving Suggestions

• Make dal makhani with fully cooked whole urad, tomato, ginger and your preferred butter-and-cream finish.
• Prepare sabut urad dal with cumin, garlic and chilli, served with chapati.
• Combine with separately prepared kidney beans in a mixed bean dal, ensuring both varieties are fully cooked.
• Simmer cooked urad with spinach and warming spices for a vegetable-and-pulse dish.
• Serve a thick, lightly mashed whole urad dal over basmati rice, with a fresh ginger garnish.
