  6. Knead the dough one more time and divide it into 15 equal sized balls.
  7. Heat sufficient oil in a pan.
  8. Take a ball and start rolling into a 5” circle and fry it on medium flame to get a golden Poori.

To make Aloo Ki Sabzi:[url href="https://kitchenofdebjani.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Making-of-Bedmi-aloo-ki-Sabzi-300x200.jpg"]%Making of Bedmi aloo ki Sabzi step by step[/url]

  1. Boil potatoes with little salt and drain the water from the pan.
  2. Don't cut the Potatoes into cube like we usually do while making a Potato dish instead break potatoes with the help of the back side of a spatula/ ladle to get uneven pieces and some Mashed Potatoes. This dish is specified by the texture of the potatoes.
  3. In pan heat ghee and oil and temper the ghee-oil mixture with dried Red chilies, Asafoetida and Cumin seeds.
  4. Now add dried Fenugreek leaves and cook for 1 minute in medium flame.
  5. Then add Tomato puree and ginger paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add Cumin powder, Coriander powder, Turmeric powder, Red Chili powder, and salt and then cook for another 2-3 minute or until oil comes from the mixture.
  7. Add potatoes and mix with the spices well and then add 3 cups of water to the mixture.
  8. In half a cup of water add 1 tbsp. of wheat flour and mix properly and then add this mixture to the potato gravy. This step is optional but provides a good texture to the gravy.
  9. Boil the Sabzi till you get the desired consistency; however, it’s preferred to be a bit runny.
