East End Urid Dall Washed – 20x500gm

Description

Creamy split black gram for dals and South Indian batters.

Urid dall washed is skinless split black gram, a staple pulse in South Asian cooking. This is the washed, split form from East End Foods in Birmingham, pale cream once the black skin is removed. The pack format is 20x500gm, which means twenty 500g bags in a case, adding up to 10kg. Being a raw pulse, it needs proper cooking or soaking and grinding before it is eaten.

Key Features

• Twenty 500g bags per case, 10kg in total, a practical size for both retail resale and steady kitchen use.
• Skinless and split, so it cooks down faster and softer than whole black gram.
• Cooks to a smooth, creamy texture that carries rich dals beautifully.
• Grinds into a batter for idli, vada, dosa and other South Indian favourites.
• A versatile pulse that supports both everyday dals and special occasion cooking.

Cooking and Uses: For dal, rinse the lentils well, then simmer with water until soft before tempering with spices, garlic and ghee. For batters, soak the dal, grind it to a smooth paste, and in traditional recipes allow it to ferment before steaming into idli or frying into vada. It cooks faster than many pulses but still needs to be cooked through before serving.

Storage
