Urad whole, 1 Kg
Urad beans are one of many legumes and even though it might be small like a lentil, it is officially a bean called Vigna mungo.
Urad has a great flavor of itself which makes it ideal for the base of a wide variety of dishes. Making a good dal, such as a dal makhani, is a great application. The beans, especially those with the skins removed, completely disintegrate once you cook them for long enough. This creates a lush, rich, creamy texture, similar to how certain types of lentils disintegrate as well.
Black gram is popular in Northern India where the bean is boiled and eaten whole. It can also be be split and made into Dal (black gram soup).
The whole gram has an unusual mucilaginous texture, more like cooked oatmeal.
To cook the whole gram, it is best soaked overnight and cooked slowly over low fire until it’s falling apart.
The whole gram is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine where it’s used to make Dal Makhani (Dal Makhni). The primary ingredients are whole black gram (Urad Dal), red kidney beans (rajma), butter and cream. It can also be prepared with yoghurt or dairy instead of cream.
