Laxmi Urad Dal is a 4 lb bag of split, skinned white urad — the essential fermenting dal of the South Indian kitchen.

Soak and grind with idli rice for idli-dosa batter, whip for medu vada and dahi vada, or temper a spoonful in hot oil for that nutty crunch in upma, poha and chutneys.

Laxmi Urad Dal is the kind of specific little item a deep international grocery exists to carry. Visit us on Fairfax Ave in Los Angeles — EBT accepted in store.
