BLACK GRAM

Black gram, also known as urad dal, is a type of legume that is widely used in Indian cuisine. It is a small, black-colored seed with a white interior.

Black gram is a good source of protein, fiber, and other nutrients, including iron and calcium. It is also low in fat and calories, making it a healthy and nutritious addition to meals.

Black gram is used in a variety of dishes, such as dals, curries, and soups. It is also commonly used to make idli, dosa, and vada, which are traditional South Indian breakfast foods.

When cooking black gram, it is important to rinse it thoroughly and remove any debris or stones. Black gram should be soaked before cooking to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility. It can be cooked in water or broth and can be flavored with herbs, spices, and vegetables.

Black gram can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a year. Cooked black gram can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for up to six months.
