**Shan Urad Dal Chilka (Split Black Gram with Skin)**

Shan Urad Dal Chilka, also known as split black gram with skin, is a beloved lentil in Indian cuisine, prized for its earthy flavor and dense nutritional profile. Retaining the black husk, this dal is rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron, making it a key component in a balanced vegetarian or vegan diet.

A staple in North Indian kitchens, Urad Dal Chilka is most famously used in **Dal Makhani** and **Punjabi Dal**, where its creamy texture and robust flavor shine. The outer skin gives it a slightly more complex taste compared to the hulled version, making it perfect for slow-cooked dishes that develop rich, deep flavors. It’s also ideal for preparing **dosa** and **idli** batters, adding a subtle flavor to these South Indian favorites.

Shan Urad Dal Chilka cooks to a thick, creamy consistency, pairing wonderfully with Indian spices like cumin, turmeric, and ginger. Whether you’re recreating classic Punjabi dishes or adding a nutritious boost to everyday meals, this dal delivers authentic taste and wholesome goodness.
