Vaal Desi — Desi Field Beans (Whole Vaal) | 4 lb, 8 lb & 55 lb

Vaal Desi (desi field beans / whole vaal) are a robust, earthy legume with a distinctive bold flavour and firm texture. Smaller and darker than the larger vaal variety, desi vaal has a more intense, earthy taste and is a staple in Gujarati and Maharashtrian home cooking. Especially popular in traditional usal and curry preparations that showcase their hearty character. Also valued for sprouting. Available in retail and bulk sizes.

Culinary Uses:

Vaal usal — the classic Maharashtrian spiced field bean dish with coconut and tamarind
Gujarati vaal curry — with coconut, jaggery, and whole spices
Mixed legume and bean curries
Sprouted vaal — for salads, stir-fries, and chaat
Traditional festival and fasting recipes
Vaal ni dal — split and skinned vaal preparations

How to Use: Soak overnight in cold water (8–12 hours), drain, and rinse before cooking. The skin can be removed after soaking by rubbing the beans between your palms if a smoother texture is preferred. Pressure cook until completely tender.
