Urad Dal (Splitted) / Thalippu Ulundhu 250gm
Split White Urad Dal, or Udaitha Vellai Ulundhu, is the engine behind the perfect South Indian breakfast. While commercial split dals are often "oil-polished" or treated with stone powder to look unnaturally white and shiny, Ayini Organic Urad Dal is kept in its raw, unpolished state. This preserves the natural mucilage—the "sticky" protein—that is essential for a powerful fermentation process. Switching to unpolished split dal ensures your idlis are naturally fluffier and your dosas crispier, all without the interference of industrial chemicals.

💡 How to Prepare / Use
Because this dal is unpolished, it retains its natural binding properties and requires less quantity to achieve a high-volume batter.
The Gentle Prep: Rinse the dal 2–3 times to remove any field dust. Unlike the whole bean, the split variety requires a shorter soaking time of about 1–2 hours.
The Aerated Grind: For batters, grind the soaked dal with chilled water until it becomes light and frothy. The unpolished nature of Ayini dal allows it to trap air more effectively, leading to superior fermentation.
Serve & Enjoy:
The Perfect Batter: Use as the primary binding agent for Idli, Dosa, and Uthappam batters.
The Golden Crunch: Use as a staple in your Thalippu (tempering) for coconut chutney, sambar, or vegetable poriyals to add a protein-rich crunch.
Culinary Thickener: Use in the preparation of Adai or Vada for a rich, hearty texture.
