Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Sabut' means whole. While peeled white Urad Dal is highly active in South India (Dosa batter etc.), skin-on black whole Urad is North India's monopoly. A magic black bean birthing the 'Vegetarian King's Curry' that provides more fullness and heaviness than meat despite using no meat.
