Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is Urad Dal Split (Black & White)?

This is split urad dal where the lentils retain their natural black outer skin (chilka) on one side, while the split interior exposes the white kernel. This combination gives dishes a deeper flavor and extra fiber compared to fully skinned white urad dal.

2. Do I need to soak skin-on split urad dal before cooking?

Yes, soaking the dal for 30 to 45 minutes prior to cooking helps soften the outer skin, reduces overall cooking time, and ensures a smoother, creamier texture in your final dish.

3. What dishes can I make with this dal?

It is the star ingredient for authentic North Indian Dal Makhani, Punjabi black dal, multi-grain lentil stews, and traditional savory accompaniments.

4. How should I store the 1.5kg pack after opening?

To maintain absolute freshness and protect the lentils from moisture and pantry pests, transfer the contents of the opened bag into a clean, airtight storage container and keep it in a cool, dry place.

5. Is Veena's Urad Dal Split naturally gluten-free?

Yes, all pure pulse and lentil varieties are naturally gluten-free, making this safe and nutritious for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities.
