Urad Chilka (Split Black Pulse)

ABH Superfoods: Urad Chilka Dal (Split Black Gram with Skin)

At ABH Superfoods, we hold firm to a simple philosophy: Nothing Added. Nothing Taken Away.

Our Urad Chilka Dal perfectly embodies this promise. Characterized by its striking black and creamy-white appearance, this split pulse provides the best of both worlds: the quick-cooking convenience of a split lentil and the dense, fibrous nutrition of its retained black skin. Completely unpolished and free from artificial bleaches, stone powder, or chemical preservatives, this is rustic, whole food at its finest—bringing the authentic strength and rich, earthy flavor of the farm straight to your kitchen.

The Power of Fiber-Rich Nutrition

For health-conscious kitchens, keeping the chilka (skin) intact is non-negotiable. The skin is a powerhouse of complex carbohydrates and roughage, making this dal an exceptional choice for nutritional marketing strategies focused on gut health and natural plant-based protein.

Why Choose ABH Superfoods Urad Chilka?

• Gut-Friendly Roughage: The retained black skin provides an excellent source of dietary fiber, promoting a healthy digestive tract and offering sustained energy without the sugar crash.

• 100% Pure & Unpolished: We never strip away the nutrient-dense outer layers just to make our lentils look glossy. You get the raw, unadulterated grain in its natural state.

• Rich, Creamy Texture: When cooked, the creamy white interior breaks down to create a thick, hearty consistency, while the skin adds a satisfying, rustic bite.

How to Use Urad Chilka in Your Diet

Urad Chilka is a beloved staple for comforting, homestyle Indian meals. Because it is split, a short soaking time of 1 to 2 hours is all you need to unlock its optimal texture and digestibility.

• Homestyle Creamy Dal: Boil and temper with ghee, cumin, garlic, and a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to aid digestion. Its naturally thick consistency pairs flawlessly with our premium stone-milled wheat rotis for a complete, protein-rich meal.

• Nourishing Khichdi: Blend with unpolished rice or ancient millets and slow-cook with mild spices. This creates an incredibly restorative, gut-friendly meal that balances complex carbohydrates with essential amino acids.

• Savory Crepes (Chilka Chilla): Soak, grind into a fermented batter with ginger and green chilies, and pan-fry. A phenomenal, high-protein savory breakfast that keeps you full for hours.

• Thick, Hearty Stews: Use as a natural thickener and protein boost for winter vegetable stews, adding deep, earthy flavors to your bowl.
