Deep Urad Dal

Urad dal, also known as black gram lentils, is a type of pulse that is widely used in Indian cuisine and is a staple in many other cuisines across Asia. Urad dal is a highly versatile ingredient and is available in various forms - this particular variety is split with the skin removed - hence why they are called "Washed."

When cooked, urad dal has a creamy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. It is commonly used to make dishes that range from soups and stews to crispy fried snacks.

Urad dal is a rich source of protein, dietary fiber, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and minerals (such as iron, potassium, calcium, and magnesium). It is an important part of a vegetarian or vegan diet due to its high protein content.

Urad dal is a crucial ingredient in many Indian dishes. It is used to make popular recipes like ""idli" (steamed rice cakes), "dosa" (fermented crepes), "vada" (fried lentil fritters), and various types of dals (lentil stews).
