Washed Split Urad for Homemade Batters and Creamy White Dals

Fudco Urad Dal Washed - 1.5kg, labelled Uraddall Washed 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 skin-on split urad. This 1.5kg pack is an ingredient for cooking from scratch, suitable for soaking and grinding into batters or simmering into a soft white urad dal.

Why Choose Fudco Urad Dal Washed?

Washed urad has a mild flavour that leaves room for ginger, green chilli, curry leaves and aromatic spice temperings. Soaked and ground, the split grains form the urad component of many idli and dosa recipes and can be used for thick medu vada batters. When simmered until tender, they develop a creamy texture that can be left lightly textured or mashed to a smoother finish. The 1.5kg pack lets regular cooks measure out the quantity needed for each recipe and keep the remaining dry dal tightly sealed.

Sort through the dal and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow your chosen recipe and the current pack instructions for soaking, then drain and grind for batter, adding water gradually to control the consistency. For idli or dosa, follow the recipe's fermentation guidance: ingredient proportions, grinding method and fermentation conditions affect the finished result. For a cooked dal, simmer in sufficient water until fully tender, stirring as it thickens and adding hot water when needed. Adjust the consistency to suit rice or chapati before finishing with your chosen tempering.

Serving Suggestions

• Combine soaked urad with rice in an idli batter recipe, then ferment and steam as directed.
• Use as the urad component of dosa batter for thin pancakes cooked on a hot pan.
• Grind into a thick medu vada batter with ginger, green chilli and curry leaves.
• Prepare cooked urad batter dumplings for dahi vada, served with yoghurt and chutneys.
• Simmer into a creamy white urad dal and finish with cumin and garlic to accompany rice or chapati.
