Dhaba Style Kali Dal
Split black gram, also popularly known as urad dal, is one of the most common lentils in India. That’s because it is a rich source of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and Vitamin B. Urad dal is also highly beneficial since it’s full of iron, calcium, folic acid, magnesium, and potassium.
Urad dal is widely used for preparing several dishes, including, dosa, Dahi Vada and medu vada.
There are three types of black lentil/Urad exist. One is whole black gram/Whole Urad used mostly for making Dal Makhani, one is split with skin called Chilka dal, and the last one is split without skin called Dhuli Urad Dal, it’s called Adad dal in Gujarati. The whole Urad looks very similar to moong beans, but it’s black on the outside and cream on the inside.
