2306.0. "FLOUR: What is Urad Flour?" by GLADYS::HUISH (Life is a Cabernet ...) Mon Mar 19 1990 08:34

    
    Does anyone know what URAD flour is? It's an ingredient in some
    pappadams that we have.

2306.1I *think* it is made from a legume of some sortCADSYS::RICHARDSONMon Mar 19 1990 12:385
    I *think* it is either chickpea or a lentil - some kind of a legume.
    (Maybe someone more knowing than I will answer this.)  Tastes good,
    whatever it is!

2306.3Try S.E. Asian GrocerySNOC02::WILEYROBINThe BearMon Mar 19 1990 23:5411
    Pete,
    
    If you talk to your local South East Asian grocery store, they should
    be able to help.  Like the other replies say, it is flour made of
    ground Urad Dahl lentils.  Being made of a pulse, it is high in
    protein, and (relatively) low in carbohydrate.  You use it to make
    Masala Dosa, which is a form of Indian pancake filled with spicy mashed
    potato.  (Goes down well with a good Pinot Noir!)
