Instructions

To make Bedmi Poori:

  • Soak Urad Daal in water for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight if possible. Grind the soaked daal with green chillies into a thick, slightly rough paste. Use as little water as possible.
  • In a bowl, combine urad daal paste with fennel seed powder, asafoetida, dry ginger powder, red chilli powder, mango powder, coriander powder, and salt.
  • Mix the flour into the daal mixture
  • Add ghee to the dough and knead again for about a minute.
  • Knead to make the dough. If needed, add a tiny bit of water to create a dough that's soft but not too soft.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it sit for 20 minutes.
  • Knead the dough once more and divide it into 15 equal pieces, shaped into balls.
  • Heat enough oil in a pan for frying.
  • Take a ball and roll it out into a circle about 5 inches wide. Fry it in the oil over medium heat until it turns golden.
  • Do not fry the poori on high heat.
  • Repeat the frying process for all the poories.

To prepare Aloo Ki Sabzi:

  • First, boil potatoes with a pinch of salt and then remove all the water.
  • Instead of cutting the potatoes into cubes, like you normally would for a potato recipe, break them into irregular pieces, with some mashed, using the back of a spatula or large spoon. The potato texture is important for this recipe.
  • Next, heat clarified butter and oil in a pan. Add dried red chilies, asafoetida, and cumin seeds to the hot ghee and oil to flavor it.
  • After that, add dried fenugreek leaves and cook for one minute on medium heat.
  • Now, put in tomato puree and ginger paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Then, add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the oil separates from the mixture.
  • Add the potatoes and mix them well with the spices. Then, pour in 3 cups of water.
  • In a half cup of water, mix 1 tablespoon of wheat flour until smooth. Add this to the potato gravy. This step is not required, but it improves the gravy's texture.
  • Boil the Sabzi until it reaches the thickness you like, but it's better if it's a little watery.
