    Bedmi Puri Recipe - a coarse urad dal paste aka pithi is made and added into the dough to make pooris. So it is also known as urad dal puri.

    These bedmi puri are served with rasedar aloo ki sabzi as a breakfast or brunch. This combo is called bedmi aloo recipe.

    This breakfast is popular in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh (specially in Agra, Mathura, Banaras). You will find it as a street food there.

    There are two methods of making bedmi poori. The one is I am sharing where pithi is added to the dough. The second is where pithi is cooked and stuffed into poori like we do for kachori, then it is known as bedmi kachori.

    As I mentioned, here I have used urad dal. But at many places moong dal is used instead.

    These bedmi poori have slightly crisp texture that is opposite to regular poori. Addition of sooji helps get crispy texture.

    Also they are slightly thicker compared to the regular ones. It tastes best when paired with spicy, chatpati aloo sabzi.

    How to make Bedmi Puri Recipe (Step by Step Photos):

    or Jump to Recipe

    1) Wash urad dal under running cold water till water runs clear. Or rinse it 3-4 times and then soak into enough water for 3-4 hours.

    2) After soaking it will get double in size. Drain the water completely.

    3) Take soaked urad dal into grinder jar. Add fennel seeds, cumin seeds and green chili.

    4) Make coarse paste (Not too smooth, not to coarse). If the paste aka pithi is too smooth then it won’t give good texture and taste. If the paste is too coarse then it will not puff up while frying.

    5) Take atta, sooji, salt and red chili powder in a bowl.

    6) Mix and add prepared paste.

    7) Mix thoroughly using your fingertips.

    8) Now add little water at a time and keep kneading into the dough. Make smooth yet stiff dough just like poori dough. Cover it and let it rest 20-30 minutes.

    9) After that again knead for sometime to make it smooth. Divide into 18 equal portions, make smooth balls and flatten between your palm one by one.

    10) Take one flattened disc and roll into 3 ½ inch diameter circle. Roll few puris and keep them in the plate covered.

    11) Heat the oil in pan or kadai for deep frying. Oil should be really hot otherwise puri will not puff up. Once hot, slide one puri in. Lightly press in circular motion using slotted spoon.

    12) And within sometime it will puff up nicely.
