TRS Urad Dal Washed - 500g, labelled Urid Dal on the pack, is dried split black gram with the dark outer skin removed. Its pale grains are the white, split form of urad, distinct from whole skinless urad gota and skin-on split black gram. This 500g pack is an ingredient for cooking from scratch, whether you are preparing an urad-based batter or a gently simmered dal.
Washed split urad has a mild flavour that works with aromatic ingredients such as ginger, curry leaves, cumin and garlic. Soaked and ground, it forms the urad component in many idli and dosa recipes and can also be used for thick vada batters. Simmered until tender, it develops a soft, creamy texture that can be left lightly textured or mashed further. The clearly identified skinless split format makes it easier to select the ingredient your recipe calls for without confusing it with whole beans.
Sort through the dal and rinse thoroughly before preparation. For batter recipes, follow the current pack instructions and your recipe for soaking, then drain and grind while adding water gradually to control the consistency. Follow the recipe's fermentation guidance for idli or dosa; the finished result depends on ingredient proportions, grinding and fermentation conditions. For dal, simmer in sufficient water until fully tender, stirring as it thickens and topping up with hot water when needed. Adjust the consistency before adding your chosen tempering and serving.
