Bedmi Puri

Rating5.0DifficultyMedium

Poori is deep fried bread and much smaller in size than Roti. Poori is "Pride" of every important occasion in indian household. It is made of wheat flour and Carom seed(Ajwain) is added to increase digestive quotient of it as it is deep fried. However, Bedmi Puri is much more richer in taste and texture because of added Dal mixture in it. Its more of North indian U.P. recipe and more widely eaten in Mathura-Agra-Kanpur-Lucknow-Banaras region.Soaked Dal grinded in coarse paste is added to the Wheat flour. Some spice are added to the mixture to enhance the flavor quotient. Then it is deep fried in oil.Potato curry complements  Bedmi Poori very well but it can be eaten with any gravy curry or sometimes with sweet dish like Rabdi as well.  Bedmi Poori-Choley is one more classic combo.
