The second variety of stuffed poori that I have been wanting to make were these Bedmi pooris. Now I already have some 4 -5 dal stuffed pooris, one referred as Bedmi Poori, on the blog. I simply don't have a clue on why these are Bedmi, I make these as they are so sinful and addictive. As expected until I ended up writing this post again, I never noticed that I used the wrong dal. I was supposed to use Urad dal and I ended up using Moong Dal! And I am sure you know my fixation on menus right, so this recipe was suggested as part of some contest that some site ran based on the Menu hosted by the Indian Government for US President Obama on his recent visit. Both the Veg and NonVeg menu was most interesting for me to analyze and think if we could make it ourselves. In the contest, the site had asked readers to suggest recipes, and this combination of Bedmi Poori with Aloo Subzi were suggested.
The weekend brunch was Matar Kachoris with Aloo Sabzi and Bedmi Poori with Bedmi Chana Sabzi
