How to Make Bedmi Puri?

If you’re trying your hands with bedmi puri and aloo sabji for the first time, here’s a step-by-step instructions to get started: 

Step 1: Prepare Bedmi Puri Filling

• Start by putting ¾ cup of urad dal into a blender and pulsing it until it reaches a rough texture. Set this aside for later use.
• Next, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds, ¼ teaspoon of turmeric, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, ½ teaspoon of cumin powder, ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper, and a hint of asafoetida.
• Stir the spices on low heat until they emit a delightful fragrance.
• Add the coarsely ground urad dal to the pan, along with ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of dry mango powder.
• Stir continuously until the mixture is thoroughly infused with the spices.
• Pour in ¼ cup of water and blend well into the mixture.
• Continue to cook until the urad dal has fully absorbed the water and the mixture thickens.
• Set aside your prepared urad dal filling.

Step 2: Knead Puri Dough

• In a sizable mixing bowl, put 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of semolina (rava), and ½ cup of all-purpose flour (maida).
• Add to this mixture ¼ teaspoon of carom seeds (ajwain), 1 teaspoon of dried fenugreek leaves (Kasuri methi), 2 tablespoons of oil, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
• Gradually add warm water to form a dough, kneading until it’s soft and pliable.
• Allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes. After resting, you’ll notice the dough has become firmer and smoother.
• Knead again for about a minute before rolling a portion into a ball.
• Flatten it slightly, place a portion of the urad dal filling in the center, then gather the edges to enclose the filling completely.
• Gently flatten the filled ball and roll it out to a moderate thickness.
• Carefully put each puri into hot oil over medium heat. 
• Flip carefully and fry both sides until they achieve a golden brown color and become crisp.

Step 3: Cook Aloo Sabzi

• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add in one bay leaf, two cardamom pods, five cloves, one teaspoon each of fennel seeds and cumin seeds, two green chilies, an inch piece of ginger finely chopped, and a pinch of asafoetida.
• Cook these spices on low heat until their aroma is released.
• Next, stir in ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, ½ teaspoon coriander powder, and 1 tablespoon gram flour until aromatic.
• Add in two cups of tomato puree and simmer until oil begins to surface on top. Pour in one cup of water along with ½ teaspoon salt; bring to a boil while stirring.
• Add two boiled and cubed potatoes into the gravy, ensuring they are well coated with the spices. Cook for about three minutes or until they have soaked up all the flavors.
• Finish off by sprinkling in ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder, one teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (Kasuri methi), and two tablespoons chopped coriander leaves. Stir well to combine everything evenly.
• Your savory aloo sabzi is now ready to be enjoyed with crispy bedmi puri.

Serving Suggestions for Bedmi Puri

This culinary delight is often paired with a savory curry, such as Aloo Sabzi—a potato-based dish cooked with various spices that complement the delicious taste of Bedmi Puri. The combination of the crispy puri with the soft and flavorful curry creates a satisfying meal that’s both filling and indulgent. 

Tips and Variations for Bedmi Poori Recipe

• Ensure the dough is firm yet pliable. A stiffer dough will give you crispier puris, but be careful not to make it too hard, or rolling will be difficult.
• Adjust the spices in the urad dal filling according to your taste. You can increase or decrease the amount of red chili powder, fennel seeds, and asafoetida to suit your spice preference.
• For a twist, add some grated ginger or minced green chilies to the dal filling for an extra kick.
• If you’re looking for a healthier version, you can bake the puris in an oven instead of deep-frying. Brush them with a little oil and bake until crisp.
