Whole Black Gram with Skin for Authentic Dal Makhani and Traditional Punjabi Cooking

Natco Urad Beans Whole - 500g are premium quality whole black gram (sabut urad) from Natco, one of the UK's most trusted South Asian grocery brands. With the natural black skin intact, whole urad beans have a deeper, earthier flavour and a richer, more complex texture than skinned urad — making them the authentic, traditional choice for dal makhani and slow-cooked Punjabi dals.

Why Choose Natco Urad Beans Whole?

The black skin on whole urad beans is what gives dal makhani its characteristic depth, colour, and richness. Unlike skinned urad gota, whole black gram produces a darker, more intensely flavoured dal that is the hallmark of the authentic Punjabi recipe. The 500g pack is ideal for smaller households or occasional use.

Serving Suggestions

  • Soak overnight and slow cook with rajma, cream, butter, and whole spices for an authentic, restaurant-style dal makhani
  • Cook with tempering of cumin, garlic, and ginger for a hearty whole urad dal
  • Use in traditional papad and vadi preparations for homestyle Indian snacks
  • Grind with rice for a more rustic, flavourful idli and dosa batter
