What is the difference between whole urad and split urad dal?

Whole urad (sabut or gota) retains its black skin, commonly used for dal makhani, while split urad (split white) has the skin removed and is used for idli, dosa, and vada batters.

Is there an organic urad dal option?

Yes, 24 Mantra Organic Urad White Whole is available in a 500 g pack.

What does "unpolished" mean for urad dal?

Unpolished dal is processed less than polished dal, generally retaining more of its natural texture, as seen in Daily Good's and DeHaat's unpolished ranges.

What is FarMart Pantry's Black Lentils product?

It is whole urad dal, also called Urad Sabut, sold with its black skin intact in a 500 g pack.

What pack sizes are available for split urad dal?

Split urad dal comes in 200 g and 500 g from Daily Good, 500 g from BestValue and Popular Essentials, and 1 kg from DeHaat.

Urad dal comes in whole and split forms; whole urad (sabut/gota) keeps its black outer skin and is commonly used for dal makhani, while split, skinned urad (dhuli) is the white lentil used for dishes like idli and dosa batter or medu vada. Organic and unpolished labels, as with 24 Mantra's and Daily Good's packs, indicate the dal has undergone less processing and is grown without synthetic pesticides.
