Heera Vall Whole Sweet - 500g is dried whole vall beans, with Whole Sweet forming part of the product name on the pack. Also spelled val or vaal, vall beans are used in Gujarati and Maharashtrian cooking for spiced bean dishes served with rice or flatbreads. Their earthy, gently nutty flavour pairs with ginger, coconut and warming spices. This 500g pack contains a dry ingredient requiring preparation and thorough cooking, not split dal, fresh bean pods or a ready-to-eat curry.
The whole-bean format gives cooked curries a substantial texture, with the beans prepared until tender before the dish is finished. Keep them mostly intact for a textured sauce or mash a small portion to thicken the cooking liquid. Their flavour works with tomato-based masalas and coconut-based recipes, letting you vary the seasonings for each meal. The 500g format allows you to measure out your recipe's quantity and keep the remaining dry beans tightly sealed.
Sort through the beans and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or a recipe specifically intended for dried vall beans for soaking, draining and cooking. Cook in fresh water until fully tender, maintaining enough liquid throughout, and do not eat the beans raw or undercooked. Check the centres for tenderness before combining the beans with the finished sauce. Cooking time depends on preparation and cooking method; if pressure cooking, follow the appliance's liquid requirements and capacity guidance. Do not assume the beans are intended for raw sprouting.
