Nagori Puri served with Aloo Sabzi and Halwa is a typical breakfast combination served on the streets of Old Delhi. The puris are small and crispy served as a combo with the other two dishes.
My original plan was to share all three dishes in one post. However, lack of time prevented me to do that and I ended up sharing only the pooris for today.
When I was making this, I remembered our stop during our Delhi Street food walk, at the famous Shyam Sweets at Chawri Bazaar. Vaishali ordered Bedmi Sabzi and Nagori Poori, Subzi with Halwa. Nagori pooris are small semolina pooris. These pooris are served with aloo sabzi with Sooji halwa. I remembered eating Moong dal halwa. I later got it confirmed that Vaishali ordered Moong dal halwa because I asked for it.
The platter with puri, sabzi, and halwa was a heavenly combination. The Aloo Sabzi is made in pure ghee and tasted awesome with a wonderful aroma. Vaishali says that a special carrot pickle is served in winters while a mango pickle is substituted in summers. So, I followed her recipe completely making the carrot pickle that both Hubby Dear and I enjoyed to the core!
A delicious street food platter from Old Delhi which can be enjoyed for breakfast or lunch. Sorry, I am posting only the poori for today. It is Nagori Poori in the Delhi Street Food. Check out the traditional breakfast from Coorg on C4AS.

Valli , I am so glad that your hubby liked that carrot pickle , it’s a simple one but delicious , right ?
The Nagori poori is very unique , specially the way it is served with that halwa – and you have done them so well ! Also your expertise at poori making and your love for them can be seen in this platter , with two variations of pooris 😋
Oh Wow! these pooris with halwa and aloo sabji is heaven for sure.
Poori, pickle, and aloo sabzi made with ghee – do we need anything more? That’s more than sufficient and look at what you have made – an entire street food platter. Love this amazing platter. It’s hard to pick one dish.
Nice and crisp pooris, I would love to dig in this with a layer of green chutney on top.
