How to make urad dal flour at home

Having urad dal flour ready at home is easy for making murukku, seedai and many indian snacks. We can make it at home and store it and use whenever needed. You can check out the homemade rice flour recipe here.

  • Urad Dal - 1 cup

Method:

Grind it to a fine powder and sieve it. Then again grind the coarse powder and then sieve it, doing in batches. Store the sieved urad dal powder in an airtight container.

My Notes:
  • You can dry roast the urad dal flour before using for snack as amma says roasting it as that instant is more effective than roasting and storing it.
  • You can grind it in bulk and store it for around 6months.

i am loving your making the flours at home posts.. i never tried it.. i am sure it comes out to be cheaper and fresher flour unlike the packaged ones, when you dont know how old the flour is.
Thanks for posting!

Simple but I like post like these!! Sharmi, I have been searching for measuring spoons for a while in Chennai. But they haven't fallen in my eyes yet. Where can I get these??

Sharmilee! :) said...

@Janu : I got these pink ones from Nilgiris here in Coimbatore. But previously had the red ones which I got from Santosh Stores Annanagar, there you get baking tins too, so give a visit.You can check out Nilgiris in Chennai too....

Thanks for the helpful post Sharmi. Can we use urad dal with skin? Or to better formulate the question, I have urad dal with skin. If I powder it, can I use it to make seedai?

Sharmilee! :) said...

@schmetterlingwords : This powder is mostly used for making indian snacks so urad dal without skin is preferred....
