Bedmi Poori/ Bedvi Poori- Deep fried pooris made with ground white lentil paste and few basic spices
Bedmi Poori or Bedvi is a very popular breakfast of North Indian specially in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi . Daal poori /bedvi /Bedai is the easy and quick version of kachori in which ground daal paste,spices and flour are mixed together to make the dough,but both -kachori and daal poori taste equally delicious.
The recipes and methods of making Bedmi in each cities are slightly different from each other. In some cities the bedvi is made by stuffing the urad daal paste inside the dough ball and then rolled and deep fried . In Banaras, Agra and Delhi you can find Bedmi poori's which are made by mixing the lentil paste and spices with the flour and then it is rolled like pooris and deep fried. In Kanpur (my Husband's home town ) Bedvi poori is served by the name -khasta ,but made exactly like bedmi poori but with less urad daal and more spices.
Khasta kachoris are different then Bedmi pooris as kasta kachoris are made by stuffing the spicy lentil mixture inside the dough balls .Khasta kachoris are made with refined flour ,are very crisp and flaky and a good amount of oil/ moyan is added in the dough and then they are fried on low heat. In My Home town Mathura Urad daal ki Khasta kachoris are sold every where, may be you can find bedmi in some small shops but Mathura wala's always prefer the crisp khasta kachoris with Jalebi and Dubki waley aloo and khatta meetha kaddu.
Traditionally Bedmi pooris are made with urad daal paste but you can also make them with a mix of yellow lentil/ moong daal and urad daal paste. Have seen many prefer to use only yellow moong daal paste to make Bedmi poori but I always prefer to use urad daal paste. For a easier version you can also use urad daal flour/ aata instead of soaking and grinding the urad daal,both ways it turn out equally delicious. You can also use refined flour instead of using wheat flour,then they turn out more crispier.
