 About the product:

This Urid (Urad) Dal is whole and with its natural black husk. It needs to be soaked for a few hours before use. This ensures that it cooks faster. Once softened, the Urid dal thickens to form a delicious, rich gravy. Dals with husk are generally considered more nutritious in India and Black Urid is rich in proteins and iron, making it the perfect energy booster in a vegetarian diet.

Usage: 

- Urid or Urad dal gota is used widely in South Indian cooking, for eg. in making batters for vada, idlis and dosas.

- Dal fry can be prepared by boiling the dal and seasoning it with tomato, garlic, ginger and onion.

- It can be ground and used with rice flour to make chakli or murukku.

Recipe: Dal Makhani 
A dish from Punjab, Dal Makhani is made with Black Urid Dal (whole) and Rajma (Kidney Beans).

1. Soak the dal and Rajma for at least 4-5 hours. 
2. Pressure cook with turmeric, salt for 20 minutes. This dal and Rajma combination takes longer to cook and may require repeated checking and further pressure cooking. Ensure that there is enough water in the dal to avoid it sticking and burning at the bottom of the cooker.
3. Heat oil in a pan, add jeera (cumin), garlic, ginger, chopped onions, and fry till golden brown.
4. Add garam masala and green chillies. Then put in chopped tomatoes and fry till onions and tomatoes blend well. 
5. Add this to the boiled dal and garnish with cream and coriander leaves.
6. Add generous amounts of butter to the dal.

Storage: Store the dal in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place.
