We all know that a side dish using potatoes are perfect match for poori/puri ( puffed Indian bread). But potatoes are so versatile that it can be used in so many different ways. Potato masala is served along with puri across India. But the way they are cooked is completely different. One dish that we enjoy as a family whenever we dine out is  'Aloo-Puri' . Bedmi Puri is served along with a tangy, spicy and slightly watery gravy. No onions and garlic is used in the recipe. If you are pressed for time, you can even pressure cook the recipe. An simple side dish that is a staple across North India.
