This bag of Natco Urid Dal White earns a permanent spot in the cupboard, seeing regular use across weekly dals, batters and snacks. A few spoonfuls go a long way, so one bag keeps a kitchen stocked for several meals. Urid dal white is the split, husked form of black gram, pale in colour and smooth in texture once cooked. It softens down into a thick, creamy dal when simmered with water and simple seasonings. Ground and soaked, it also forms the base for idli and dosa batter, giving both their characteristic lightness. At home, cooks use it to make a comforting urid dal, often finished with a tempering of spices fried in oil. Soaked overnight and blended with rice, it becomes the batter for South Indian breakfasts. It also works stirred into vadas, adding body and a soft bite. Store the dal in a cool, dry cupboard in a sealed container to keep it in good condition. Rinse well before soaking or cooking to remove any dust. Soaking times will vary depending on the dish, so plan ahead if making batter for idli or dosa the next morning.
