"White gram dal" is pretty much unintelligible to readers. The link on that ingredient links to chickpeas, which is obviously not what you intended. If someone tried to use chickpeas in the recipe, it would not work out OK. It took some searching, but I found that "black gram" is a name for urad dal. Is it possible that "white gram dal" refers to urad dal with the black skins removed? (they're white underneath). The word "gram" used for chickpeas or other kinds of dal is unknown outside of Indian English. People seeing recipes using "gram flour" mistake it for graham flour, which is whole wheat flour and completely different. We lack a common vocabulary for even communicating about Indian food internationally in English. What exactly is "white gram dal"? Do you mean urad dal?
