What is Bedmi Poori?


The dish, Bedmi Puri, has its roots in North India; Uttar Pradesh in particular. While the dish is also consumed in parts of Delhi, its unique composition drives people to recreate it far and wide, even in the comfort of their own homes, to this day. Originally made as a breakfast, Bedmi Poori is an amalgamation of wheat flour, ground urad dal and aromatic spices. These humble ingredients make the most airy fried breads that are both spicy and savoury, tempting you to take a bite with or without any side dishes.
