Natco Urad Dal Split - 500g, labelled Urid Split on the pack, is dried black gram split into halves with the dark outer skin retained. The grains have pale interiors and dark skins, distinguishing this product from white washed urad dal and whole urad beans. This 500g pack is an ingredient for cooking from scratch, suited to urad dal tadka, mixed dals and gently simmered lentil dishes.
Skin-on split urad brings an earthy flavour and a softly textured finish to cooked dals. The split grains soften as they simmer, while the retained skins add texture to the finished dish. Cook until tender and leave the dal lightly textured, or mash some of the grains to thicken the sauce. Its mild base takes on cumin, garlic, ginger and chilli, giving you scope to vary the tempering and serve it with either rice or chapati.
Sort through the dal and rinse thoroughly before cooking. If soaking, follow the current pack instructions or your chosen recipe, then drain and cook in fresh water until fully tender. Use sufficient water during simmering and stir occasionally as the dal thickens, adding more hot water when needed. Finish with your chosen tempering and adjust the consistency before serving. This skin-on variety is not the same ingredient as skinless urad used in many white idli and dosa batters, so choose the format specified by your recipe.
