Description
Urad dal powder is made from dried, ground whole urad dal. The lentils are cleaned, roasted and then ground into flour after removal of the testa or the seed-coat. This flour is used in various Indian and Chinese dishes. Pale white in color, this flour is commonly used for making dosa crepes, idi cakes, and uttappam, which is similar to a pancake. To make this powder at home, Take a heavy bottom kadai. Add in urad dal and start roasting on a low flame till it is roasted. Now remove it to a plate and allow it to cool down. Once cooled take it in a trusty blender and powder it finely. Now sift them. You can add the coarse mixture to the next batch which you grind. Spread it on a newspaper. Allow it to cool down. Store this in a air tight container.
