No Onion No Garlic Aloo Sabzi and Bedmi

Bedmi/Dal Poori

Bedmi is a typical Indian Flat Bread, Deep fried and usually served with Potato 
gravy. Its a very famous breakfast is northern India and is loved bu all. You 
can also enjoy these pooris with Chole/Paneer and any curry of your wish.
The usually way of preparing bedmi is a lengthy process of soaking the urad dal 
overnight and then making it into a paste. Thanks a ton mom who gave me a quick 
fix to it. Last time i received a parcel form mom a received a box of heavenly 
aromatic coarse grounded spice mix. I called mum and she told its a quick fix to 
bedmis/Daal pooris. So sharing with you all my or our :p way of doing them..:D

Ingredients
* 1 Cup white split urad dal 
* 1 Tbsp. Saunf/Fennel Seeds
* 1/2 Tsp. Cumin Seeds/jeera
* Salt to taste
* 1/2 Tsp. Carom/Ajwain Seeds
* 1 Tsp. Red Chilli powder
* 1/2 Tsp Asofetida/Hing 


Process
Take a grinder jar add Dal, and all the spices together. Give it a good churn in the grinder till forms a good Coarse powder. And will u believe me that’s it.. :D
Your Poori/Bedmi masala is ready..:)

You just soak this 20-30 mints. prior to preparing your pooris in double the quantity of water as the dal powder and then add to flour before kneading. Is you like the crunchy texture of dal in pooris you can add the powder itself to the flout while kneading the dough.

Tips
* We like authentic taste of Bedmi, you can add any desired spice to the dal.
* While kneading the dough add a Tbsp. of ghee/oil and see the magic.
* Knead the dough with lukewarm water this will help to make the dal firm.
