Bedmi Aloo is a spicy, delicious, chatpati potato gravy that is served with bedmi puri. This is popular North Indian breakfast and you will find it as a street food there.
This bedmi aloo sabzi has thin gravy compared to other gravy/curry dishes. When you dunk garama garam puris into the gravy and eat, you will feel flavors bursting in your mouth.
Some other similar breakfasts are
- poori bhaji (Maharashtrian style)
- Aloo poori (Punjabi style)
- Poori masala (South Indian version)
This is very quick to make. Only you need to plan and boil the potatoes ahead of time. If this is ready then sabzi will be ready in just 10-15 minutes only.
The gravy is made from tomatoes and some spice powders. Because this gravy is slightly watery thin, the flavor comes from spice powder and whole spices added in tempering.
This bedmi aloo is no onion no garlic recipe. There is another similar aloo tamatar ki sabji I have shared, but it has onion garlic in it.
