This traditional breakfast Bedmi poori is also known bedmi aloo, bedmi kachori, urad dal kachori, bedvi, bedami or bedmi puri aloo sabzi. This is my first recipe as “no onion no garlic” recipe which is also vegan. Must say it is a filling, calorie-rich recipe but totally worth having on festive occasions. We are making this urad dal poori once a month.

How To Make urad dal poori or bedmi poori

This puri is made in two ways. One is preparing the dry urad dal filling separately and then stuff in the dough, roll it thicker and smaller followed by deep frying. Smaller and thicker version of poori known as kachori. Another version has kneaded the dough with the grounded urad dal with spices. I have adapted the recipe from Nisha Madhulika.

We tasted these puris first time during our visit to Taj Mahal. They were so tasty in spite of being spicy. Since then I keep making, rather nowadays street food is a kind of party food for me where we invite friends at home.

    This has been one of my favourite breakfast as a kid since it was available at every nook and corner in Old Delhi . The staff. would run and get it and it would be still piping hot .
    Times have changed , and now we do not eat as before , the fried pooris are reserved for special occasions , though they still remain a favourite .

    The whole platter is inviting and very well made .
