Frequently Asked Questions

What is Biri Badi and how is it used?

Biri Badi are sun-dried dumplings made from ground black gram, a traditional Odia ingredient. They’re typically fried or added directly to curries and vegetable dishes for extra flavor and texture.

How long does it stay fresh?

Being naturally sun-dried with no added moisture, it has a long shelf life when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place — similar to other dried lentil-based staples.

Do I need to soak it before cooking?

Most cooks fry or lightly roast Biri Badi directly before adding it to curries — no soaking needed, though you can lightly rinse it if preferred.
