Black Gram

Black Gram or called Urad Bean, is a bean grown in the South East Asia. Mung bean is its relative. So, they are very similar but different color. Black Lentil in the market is usually the whole urad bean, whereas the White Lentil is split beans. Please do not confuse them with the real Lentils. In India, people make Urad Dal with the whole or split, dehusked seeds. They use Dal Mill Machine to dehusk / peel and split the Black Gram.
