For the second day of Cooking from a TV Soap, Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naan Doom, I decided to make the Bedmi Pooris that Khushi makes. From the start to date, we get to see many occasions when Khushi ends up dishing out different varieties of Pooris.
Arnav doesn't know Khushi's birthday and her family folks get upset that he forgot. She goes to her Buaji's house to get their blessings and our hero rushes out to bring her back. On knowing that he really wants to convince the family, Buaji challenges him to eat what she asks. They show a mountain of pooris and we see the suave Arnav eating the whole lot without any protest. Khushi is still not convinced and back home, he tries to woo her with what he thinks might please her. He asks his Nani, who makes the best Mathura Ki Aloo-Poori, to make it for breakfast.
I was so tempted to make these Mathura Ki Aloo-Poori but I settled to make Bedmi Poori.
So for today's post, it is going to be Bedmi poori. When I checked out the video that they clearly show the Bedmi pooris that were puffed up real good. Mine didn't turn out all that puffed, however, the taste was not compromised.
I was talking to Vaishali and she said her Bedmi Poori comes out very well. Bedmi Poori is an Old Delhi specialty. Vaishali says that though this is normally served for breakfast throughout the year, they prefer to serve it in winters as it is cooked in pure ghee and is really heavy.
Bedmi Poori is a bread made of wheat flour stuffed with ground urad dal. The Bedmis are served with Aaloo sabzi, which is topped with a tangy and spicy chutney.

Indeed, this is a very popular and yummy north indian dish. But people should limit it's serving else it may add up fat on the body.
Pavani says
