24 Mantra Organic Urad White (split, whole-shaped) is 2 lb of organic skinned urad — the fermenting backbone of the South Indian kitchen.

Soak and grind it with rice for idli, dosa and vada batters, temper it whole in upma and poha for crunch, or cook creamy urad dal for a lighter take on dal makhani.

24 Mantra Organic Urad White Split Whole is the kind of specific little item a deep international grocery exists to carry. Find it in our dal aisle at Anora's Cash N Carry on Fairfax Ave.
