Urad Split Unpolished Dal 1KG

Unpolished urad split dal. Creamy, bold and essential for idli, dosa and dal.

Our Urad Split Dal (split black gram) is left unpolished, with no oil or powder coating, so it keeps its natural look and deep, creamy flavour. It's the secret behind fluffy idlis, crisp dosas and silky dals, and it's a key part of tempering in South Indian cooking.

How to use it

• Idli and dosa batter: Soak for 4–6 hours with rice (soaked separately), grind to a smooth, fluffy batter and ferment overnight.
• Dal: Rinse, soak for 1–2 hours, then pressure cook with 3 cups of water per cup of dal for 3–4 whistles. Temper with ghee, cumin, garlic and chilli.
• Vada: Soak and grind coarsely with green chilli, ginger and curry leaves for medu vada.
• Tempering: Add a teaspoon to hot oil with mustard seeds for a nutty crunch in upma, chutneys and poriyal.
