Urad Dal Ki Poori or Bedmi Poori is a popular puri from the Northern States of India. Stuff the pooris with spiced ground Urad dal for a delicious poori with side dishes like aloo ki sabzi.
These Urad dal Poori are also called Bedmi Poori, uses a stuffing prepared by cooking ground urad dal in spices and stuffing in a poori. Some use Moong dal for stuffing as well. Since I have quite a few stuffed Urad dal pooris, I opted to blend the dal along with other spices to make the poori crispy and tasty on its own.
Bedmi Pooris are served for breakfast and popular in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Haryana. Since I have mixed the masala in the flour, rolling out becomes very easy and you don't have to worry about the stuffing coming out.
The pooris are crispy and can be served with just curds and pickles. However, Aloo ki sabzi is the best way to enjoy these pooris.
I made these Urad Dal Ki Pooris along with another Mega BM theme and it was unbelievably exhausting and I forgot to click proper pictures as it becomes very tiresome by the end of a marathon cooking.
Taste-wise there were so good, so I can't complain. One good thing was that I planned and made the thali that helped in both themes. This poori is the last one for this month's AtoZ Indian Pooris, where we were sharing S, T, U.
Step By Step Pictures for making Bedmi Pooris
Ingredients Needed for making these pooris
Urad dal is the main ingredient for these pooris. Instead of stuffing the dal, you can mix it with flour to make these pooris.
Remember to soak the urad dal for at least 3 to 4 hours and grind it coarsely for you to feel the dal while eating it.
Make the dough stiff so that it doesn't dunk a lot of oil. You can increase the spice levels as per your choice.

I made a few spicy versions of pooris a while ago and love them. Aloo curry is definitely a nice accompaniment to them.
