Urad Chilka (12 x 2kg)

Urad chilka is split black gram with the dark skin left on, supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, takeaways, caterers and food manufacturers across the UK. Also known as chilke wali urad dal, it cooks down to a soft, creamy dal while the husk adds an earthy flavour and a little bite. That makes it a dependable base for everyday dal in a commercial kitchen. Buy it wholesale and keep a core pulse line fully stocked.

Key Features of Wholesale Urad Chilka

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Suits UK restaurants, takeaways and caterers that put dal on the menu every day. A bulk box means fewer reorders and steadier stock levels.
• Wholesale Trade Pricing: Buying in bulk brings down the cost per portion of a staple dal. A cost-effective choice for high-volume kitchens.
• Skin-On Split Form: Each split keeps its dark husk and creamy white centre. The finished dal has more texture and a deeper flavour than washed white urad.
• Batch Cooking Behaviour: It softens into a smooth, thick dal when simmered or pressure cooked. A short soak beforehand helps shorten cooking time in large pots.
• Know Your Urad: Urad chilka suits dal, tadka, soups and fritters. For very smooth, pale dosa or idli batter, kitchens usually choose skinless urad instead.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep in a cool, dry place, away from damp and strong odours. Decant into airtight containers and reseal after opening.
