Bedmi aloo sabzi recipe | Mathura ke dubki wale aloo with bedmi puri
This breakfast is popular in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh (specially in Agra, Mathura, Banaras). Spicy, delicious, chatpati potato gravy is served with bedmi puri. This is popular North Indian breakfast and you will find it as a street food there.
There are two methods of making bedmi poori. The one where pithi is added to the dough. The second is where pithi is stuffed into poori like we do for kachori, today i am sharing second method by stuffing pithi.
Here I have used urad dal. But at many places moong dal is used instead. These bedmi poori have slightly crisp texture that is opposite to regular poori . Also they are slightly thicker compared to the regular ones. It tastes best when paired with spicy, chatpati aloo sabzi.
This bedmi aloo sabzi has thin gravy compared to other gravy/curry dishes. When you dunk garama garam puris into the gravy and eat, you will feel flavors bursting in your mouth.
This is very quick to make. Only you need to plan and boil the potatoes ahead of time. If this is ready then sabzi will be ready in just 10-15 minutes only.
In the recipe below I have added freshly pureed tomato to prepare the base for my potato curry. But traditionally, this recipe is prepared without tomatoes The gravy is made from tomatoes and some spice powders. Because this gravy is slightly watery thin, the flavor comes from spice powder and whole spices added .
