Black Dal Recipe - Vegan Indian Urad Dhal

Urad (also known as black gram, black lentil, Hindi: urad, Gujarati: adad), is a little black seed with a white interior. It is very similar to a mung bean in size and shape but tastes entirely different. It has also been eaten in India for thousands of years and is highly prized. Urad has an earthy flavor and an unusual mucousy texture (it’s a good thing!) when it’s cooked. The popular, and amazing, dal makhani is made with urad. Papad (or poppadums) are usually made with urad dal as well. Urad dal is known by various names across South and Southeast Asia. Its name in most languages of India derives from Proto-Dravidian *uẓ-untu-, borrowed into Sanskrit as uḍida:
Gujarati: અળદ aḷad, અડદ aḍad Hindi: उड़द दाल uṛad dāl, उरद दाल urad dāl Kannada: ಉದ್ದು uddu, ಉದ್ದಿನ ಬೇಳೆ uddina bele Marathi: उडीद uḍid Malayalam: ഉഴുന്ന് uẓunu Sinhala : උඳු undu Tamil: உளுந்து uḷuntu Tulu: urdu bele Its name in selected Indic languages, however, derives from Sanskrit māṣa: Bengali: মাসকালাই ডাল mashkalai ḍal Nepali: मास mās Punjabi: ماش māsh Other names include: Oriya: ବିରି ଡାଲି biri ḍāli Telugu: మినుములు minumulu Vietnamese: đậu muồng ăn
