TAJ Urad Dal | 4-Pounds | Indian Origin | All-Natural

No stones so far and the price was comparable to local grocery

I ordered the TAJ Urad Dal | 4-Pounds | Indian Origin | All-Natural. This is the first time I have used this type of food, so I don't have a bunch of experience with making different dishes or trying different types. I just did some online searches, and figured out a way to make it. I rinsed it several times, then I let it soak overnight. I boiled it for almost 30 minutes on the stove, and it was ready to go. It has a nice, mild flavor, and it blends well with other items. I ended up mixing it with some regular rice, burger, taco seasoning, green enchilada sauce, and I made a enchilada casserole type dish and it was good. I can tell I can mix this with so many things to add some fiber and protein. I'll probably just make a big batch and then freeze much of it so I don't have to go through the process again when I want to add it to something. Overall, I don't have any complaints and I am glad I was able to try it, thank you.

Reasonable price for the quantity you receive, and lentils can be stored for a long time if stored correctly, so it makes a good pantry food. The dal itself was quite clean, maybe only a couple pieces of other plant material I noted in the whole bag. These did require a quick rinse before using as I do with most dal.Cooks quickly and can be used in a lot of different ways. It provides a little variety to just regular bean and green lentils, as I tend to eat a lot of legumes and try to avoid animal-based proteins.

For $14.99 (price at time of writing), I thought this 4lb bag of urad dal was a little on the pricey side. However, lentils make excellent choices for the pantry as they keep for a long time and Taj brand is a company I am familiar with and trust. I found that the legumes were even in size and color, which means there was some form of quality control. I dam very excited to cook with this bag of urad dal!

The Urad Dal is a high-quality, all-natural product that is perfect for cooking a variety of traditional Indian dishes. Sourced from India, this 4-pound pack ensures you have a steady supply of this essential ingredient. The dal is free from any artificial additives or preservatives, making it a great choice for health-conscious individuals. Whether you're making dosas, idlis, or vadas, this Urad Dal is sure to deliver authentic flavor and texture.

Mine seems of good quality. The bag was intact and none leaked out. The expiration date is is little under 3 years from now.

This four pound bag of TAJ Urad Dal arrived as expected. The Dal was well cleaned and I have not had any issues with quality or freshness. This is nice to have in the pantry. I wish it came in a resealable bag though, but beyond that I am totally satisfied with this.

I used this Ural Dal in a savory porridge type recipe with added protein. It was more of a traditional meal. It was very easy to boil and it complemented whatever spices I used very well. I loved the texture and it was well liked all around. This is my first time using this particular bean, and I would again. It was very fresh and I felt the value was great for the amount received. I'm also looking forward to trying many more recipes in the future.
