Swej Black Urad Whole - 4 Lbs (1.8 KG)

Whole black urad (kaali urad) is a small, shiny black lentil with a firm texture and a creamy interior when cooked. It has a mild, earthy and slightly nutty flavor and holds its shape well in slow-cooked dals and rich curries. Commonly used in dal preparations, slow-simmered dishes like dal makhani, sprouted salads or soaked and ground for fritters and batters, it benefits from a lengthy soak and either pressure-cooking or long simmering. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to keep it fresh and pest-free.
