Bedmi puri (spiced whole wheat Indian puffed bread) is a popular breakfast in the North India. Bedmi poori is best served with Bedmi aloo Sabzi, but you can also have them with garma gram chai (hot tea). This hearty breakfast dish is also a good brunch option or can be served for lunch or dinner. I enjoy them all the time and all-round the year.
These pooris are well flavored and made with atta (wholewheat flour), spices and urad dal (split black gram) pithy. All these are combined to make a dough and then rolled into pooris and fried. Do try these and I am sure you will love them.
There are two types of Bedmi Poori available; one is stuffed with Dal and another variety is not stuffed but the dough itself is prepared by mixing Daal and flour. I am sharing the recipe of the later version.
