Whole Skin-On Urad for Dal Makhani and Hearty Everyday Dals

Natco Urad Beans Whole - 1kg, labelled Urid Beans on the packaging, is dried whole black gram with its dark outer skin retained. Also known as sabut urad or whole black urad, these intact beans are different from peeled urad gota and split urad dal. This 1kg 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 to suit each recipe.

Why Choose Natco Urad Beans Whole?

Whole urad develops a soft interior as it cooks, while the retained skin adds texture to the finished dish. Its earthy flavour works with ginger, garlic, tomato and warming spices in gently simmered dals. Leave the beans mostly intact for a substantial bite, or mash a portion into the cooking liquid to create a thicker consistency. The whole skin-on format helps you choose the right ingredient for recipes that call for sabut urad rather than white washed dal.

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. If combining with other dried beans, prepare and cook each variety according to its own instructions before bringing the ingredients 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 to serve alongside chapati.
  • Combine with separately prepared kidney beans for a mixed bean dal, ensuring both varieties are fully cooked.
  • Simmer cooked whole urad with spinach and warming spices for a vegetable-and-pulse dish.
  • Serve a thick, lightly mashed urad dal over basmati rice with a fresh ginger garnish.
