| − | '''Urad bean''', also '''urd''', '''black gram''', sometimes mistaken for '''black Beluga lentils''', are little black beans with creamy white interiors, used in cooking across [[Cookbook:South Asian cuisines|South Asia]]. Whole Urad bean is used mainly in [[Cookbook:Stew|stews]] and [[Cookbook:Soup|soups]]. They derive their strong, rich, earthy flavor from the black skins, and have an uncanny ability to absorb flavors.

| − | '''Urad dal''', also '''urad dhal''', '''white urad''', '''white lentil''', is the skinless and often split urad bean. It is commonly used in [[Cookbook:Dal|dals]], and to make breads like idli and dosa (see below). Dosa made with white urad dal practically peel themselves off the pan when cooked, and have a satisfying bread-like flavour.
