Bhedawi Puri | How to make Rajasthani Bhedawi Poori

Bhedawi Puri is a Rajasthani puri made with a dough made of all purpose flour and kalonji. It has a stuffing prepared with urad dal and whole spices. The final deep fried bread tastes out of the world and you can serve it with some easy side dishes for a complete meal.

When I decided on Bhedawi Puri, I noted that it used kalonji in the dough. We somehow love the kalonji taste in the outer layer and use it when making kachoris or other deep fried dishes.

The stuffing is again made with urad dal paste that is cooked with ground whole spices. The stuffed poori tastes awesome and is very addictive. I served it with Dahiwale Aloo ki Subzi and an instant Green Chili Pickle. Since I made this meal for dinner, I also planned on making some traditional sweets. However, I didn’t have time and ended up making this Instant Rabri Malpua.

Everybody loved this meal and that feeling of accomplishment came over when I finally ticked off this item from my list!

I somehow have given up counting how many different Chole Masala or Aloo Masala I end up making for different bread. I have so many and I only hope I have made note of the recipes.

For now, read on how I made this Bhedawi Puri for Day 4 of Indian Flatbreads in the Rajasthani Bhedawi Puri aur Sabzi Thali though, and on C4AS, it’s a Gujarati special!

Step By Step Pictures for making Bhedawi Puri

Ingredients used to make Bhedawi Puri:

We use all purpose flour for making this puri. If you wish for a change, you can always add part of wheat flour. However, this is a treat and you must enjoy it with maida.

The Kalonji added to the flour lends a beautiful taste and feel when you eat this. Plus the stuffed masala is quite spiced with all the ground spice masala we use.

On the whole, it was an excellent experience and the mild spiced Dahiwale Aloo ki Subzi was a good choice. Of course, I made this instant green chili pickle and an instant sweet.
