How to make urad dal flour at home- Urad Dal - 1 cup
Method:
Heat a pan, dry roast urad dal in a pan until slightly golden browned and nice aroma comes. Cool down completely.
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.

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