'''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.
