Red Gram dal (Kandi Hand Pound) – 1kg

Product Description

Polamnunchi Red Gram Dal (Kandi – Hand Pound) is prepared using traditional hand-pounding methods, where selected red gram seeds are gently processed to retain more of their natural grain character. This method helps preserve the original texture and gives the dal a slightly rustic appearance compared to machine-processed varieties.

Hand-pounded red gram dal is appreciated for its fuller grain feel and traditional processing style, making it suitable for authentic home-style cooking.
