Bedmi puri is delicious deep fried flatbread made with whole wheat flour and skinned black gram. This is a very popular street food of north India. Bedmi poori is usually served with spicy and runny potato curry called rasedar aloo. The combination is known as bedmi aloo. Here is how you can make easy bedmi puri recipe at home.
I first tasted this bedmi puri or urad dal puri in Delhi and have been hooked to it ever since. Slightly crispy and spicy poori flavored with ginger and green chilies is a real treat to the taste buds. This urad dal puri is similar to kashta kachori, just that moong dal is used in kachori.
Served with very mildly spiced aloo curry, this is a very very tasty and wholesome meal that makes for a good breakfast or lunch. Moreover this entire combination is no onion garlic and vegan. Well suited for festivals.
Flavored pooris are an all time favorite at home. I often make aloo puri, palak poori, beetroot puri, methi puri along with this bedmi poori.
Not only rasedar aloo, this bedmi poori tastes very good with any type of potato curry like aloo jhol, dubki aloo, potato masala or even dum aloo.
