FAQs

What is the difference between urad gota and urad dal? Gota is the whole, skin-on bean, while urad dal usually refers to the split version. Gota is preferred for dal makhani.

How long should I soak it? At least 6 hours, or overnight, gives the creamiest results.

Can I make idli batter with it? Yes, though many cooks prefer split white urad for batters. Whole urad works well when ground smooth.
