TRS Urid Dal Chilka (Split Black Gram with Skin)

TRS Urid Dal Chilka is a premium-quality split black gram with its natural skin intact, offering a rich, earthy flavor and excellent nutritional value. Popular throughout Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Nepalese cuisine, this versatile lentil is an essential pantry ingredient for preparing a wide variety of traditional dishes. Carefully selected and packed by TRS, it delivers consistent quality, texture, and taste for everyday cooking.

Unlike polished lentils, Urid Dal Chilka retains its black skin, which adds a slightly nutty flavor, a pleasant texture, and additional dietary fiber. When cooked, the lentils become soft and creamy while still maintaining their shape, making them ideal for hearty curries, dals, soups, and stews.

Urid Dal Chilka is naturally high in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals such as iron, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. It is an excellent choice for vegetarian and vegan diets and provides long-lasting energy as part of a balanced meal.

This versatile lentil can be prepared on its own or combined with other lentils and vegetables. It pairs perfectly with onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and fresh herbs to create authentic South Asian recipes. It is commonly served with steamed rice, jeera rice, chapati, roti, naan, or paratha.
