Orient Orid Dhal 500g

Type: Premium whole skinned/split black gram lentils (Ulundu).

Texture & Flavor: Mild, subtly nutty, and earthy. When soaked and ground, it develops a uniquely gelatinous, creamy texture that acts as an excellent natural binding agent.

Role: The essential foundational legume for traditional South Asian breakfast staples and savory street-side delicacies.

Best Used For:

• Soaking and grinding with rice to create the smooth, fermented batter for soft, fluffy Idli and crispy Thosa (Dosa).

• Blending into a thick, seasoned batter to fry into classic, crispy local Medu Vadai or Ulundu Vadai.

• Adding a small handful directly into hot oil during the initial tempering stage (themparaduwa) for potato curries or cabbage stir-fries, providing a delightful, nutty crunch.
