These are the small black beans similar in size to the mung beans. They have a very earthy flavor and when cooked come out a little sticky, which makes them a perfect lentil for making the popular and flavorful Dal Makhani! These lentils are widely used in India for making papadums. It is one of the main lentils used in South Indian cooking make Idli and Dosa. My favorite dish using road dal are the No-fry Dahivada’s or Dahi Bhalla!
