Gundla Pappu

Gundla Pappu (also known as Minapa Gundu or Whole De-husked Urad Dal) is the premium "gold standard" of black gram. Unlike the split variety, these are whole, rounded white lentils that have had their black husks removed while keeping the bean intact. This is the secret ingredient behind the world-famous fluffiness of South Indian Garelu (Vadas) and the perfect fermentation of Idli and Dosa batters.
