Bedmi Puri | Bedmi Poori | How to make Bedmi Puri from Scratch | Prepare Bedmi Puri Flour at home | Stepwise Pictures | Indian Puffed Bread Recipe

Hi Supermoms,

'Bedmi Puri' is a popular and everyday breakfast in the North. For those who haven't heard of these puris, they are basically made using  whole wheat flour and lentils. These puris are spicy  and with masala infused in the  dough. The texture of the Puri  is a little rough due to the addition of semolina. The puris are slightly bigger in size than the regular 'atta puris' . They are simply delicious and are generally enjoyed along with ' Puri- Aloo'.

Just like packaged wheat flour, you get 'Bedmi Puri Atta' in the local grocery stores in North India, but many make it at home by soaking and grinding the urad dal /husked black gram. You can also prepare the Bedmi Flour at home, store it in an air tight container and use it upto a month.
