Indus Urid Dal Wash is a split pulse with a pale cream colour and a smooth, small grain. Sold in a 500g pack, it has a mild, earthy flavour and a soft texture once cooked, making it a versatile store-cupboard pulse. This dal is a familiar base for home cooking. It works well in a simple urid dal curry, simmered with onions, garlic and spices until thick and creamy. It is also the classic pulse used for making idli and dosa batter, giving the fermented mixture its characteristic lightness. Some cooks use it to prepare vadas, shaping the ground dal into small fritters before frying. Before cooking, rinse the dal thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soaking for a few hours softens the grains and shortens the cooking time, especially useful when preparing batter for idli or dosa. Once cooked, it can be mashed or left whole depending on the dish. Store the dal in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight container, to keep it in good condition until needed. This helps maintain its texture and flavour for everyday cooking, whether making a quick weekday dal or preparing batter for a weekend breakfast of dosas.
