Oily Tuver Dal (Divel) – Preserving Tradition and Quality
The Wisdom of Oil In Gujarat, stocking grains for the entire year (Barje) is a household tradition. However, untreated dal can easily fall prey to weevils and moisture over time. Oily Tuver Dal (Divel Arhar), supplied wholesale by Jalaram Food Products, uses the age-old technique of coating grains with pure Castor Oil. This not only preserves the dal naturally without chemical pesticides but also enhances its taste and texture as it ages.
Why Choose Oily (Divel) Dal?
- Natural Preservation: The castor oil coating creates a protective barrier. It prevents moisture absorption and makes the grain slippery, stopping insects from laying eggs. This allows the dal to be stored safely for 10–12 months.
- Enhanced Flavor: Connoisseurs believe that dal aged with castor oil develops a sweeter, earthier flavor over time compared to plain dal.
- Retailer’s Friend: For grocery shops, Oily Dal is a safer inventory bet. It has a longer shelf life and stays visually appealing (shiny) on the shelf for months without degrading.
Culinary Usage & Prep
- Note for Chefs: Because of the oil coating, this dal requires a specific preparation method.
- Wash with Warm Water: To remove the oil layer, the dal should be rinsed thoroughly with warm water before soaking.
- Soaking: Once the oil is washed off, soak for 30 minutes.
- Cooking: It yields a rich, creamy consistency perfect for heavy gravies.
Who Buys Oily Tuver Dal?
- Grocery Retailers: Shop owners who sell loose dal prefer the oily variety as it reduces wastage due to spoilage during the monsoon season.
- Traditional Households: Families who buy 50kg sacks once a year prefer Oily Dal as it guarantees their stock remains fresh until the next harvest.
- Premium Caterers: Some traditional Gujarati caterers specifically request Divel dal for its distinct aroma in wedding menus.
