I'm amazed by the volume Rigel Spices Urad dal produces when ground into a batter! It fluffs up beautifully, resulting in soft, pillowy idlis that are simply irresistible. The batter consistency is just perfect, making my breakfast routine a breeze. Love it!

I love lentils, my username should be lentilLover104, alas I only recently discovered this love. You should definitely try these: they have a strong chewy bite almost like farro, they are great if you are making dosas or pancakes, and can make a mean biscuit.:)

We weighed the packet and its less than 4 lb.

I'm impressed with the excellent quality of Rigel Spices Urad dal. It's clean, well-packaged, and cooks up beautifully. The flavor is rich and authentic, adding a delightful taste to my traditional Indian recipes. Thumbs up!

Absolutely delighted with Rigel Spices Urad dal! The quality is top-notch, and the taste is simply divine. The dal cooks up to a creamy texture, making delicious dishes like dal makhani a breeze. Highly recommended!

I prefer to buy in bulk and love finding items like this on Amazon. Taste great and lasts longer than purchasing fresh food items.

I have often used chana dal but this was my first experience with udad and I decided to try the recipe for dhuli urad dal that was on the back of the sturdy cloth bag the dal arrived in. The recipe had some ingredient repetitions so I adjusted as well as I could but I followed the process exactly. The dal was to be soaked for 15 minutes and drained. Then simmered in water and milk for 10 minutes and then the dal and all additional ingredients were, according to the instructions, "cooked for some time".After simmering for 45 minutes, the liquids in the pot were almost completley absorbed and had cooked down to a thick (and delicious) sauce. The dal was still tough. Not hard and crunchy but incompletely cooked. The dal was packed in July 2032 (8 months ago) so it shouldn't be old. I used soft water in the recipe so it wasn't a hard water issue. Upon researching Urad, I found recommendations to either soak them overnight or cook them in a pressure cooker. Armed with that information, I soaked 1/2 cup of dal overnight and clearly, that fixes the problem. The recipe on the bag is a keeper, but 10 minutes of soaking is not nearly long enough to soften these dal. You need to plan ahead to fully enjoy.

It's a big 4 pound bag of high quality urad dal. I followed recipes online and it made perfect dal makhani in my instapot.The quality is good, the lentils are intact, and there was no debris present. It comes in a traditional burlap bag, which is fine but I transferred it to an airtight plastic container.This 4lb bag will last me several months of regular cooking.Overall - great quality urad dal. It would only be better if it was certified organic.

The secret to super soft idlis. A worthy choice for the finest fluffiest results every time.

Look like a super quality product in a sealed pack
