Lucknowi Bedmi Puri
UP's urad-dal-stuffed bedmi puri, Sunday breakfast with aloo sabzi. Soft-centred, blistered and buttered; bread as daily ritual. Best with a rich gravy and sliced raw onions.
Ingredients
- Saltto taste
- Ginger2-inch piece
- Green Chili2
- Ghee2 tbsp
- Urad Dal1 cup, chopped
- Wheat Flour3 cups
Instructions
- 1
Bring the dough together with lukewarm water, then knead hard — soft dough makes soft bread, no shortcuts.
- 2
Let it rest in a warm spot; the dough should look smoother and feel like an earlobe when ready.
- 3
Divide into equal balls, then roll — plain, or stuffed and sealed like little parcels before rolling gently.
- 4
Cook on a hot tawa till brown blisters form, flip, then finish over an open flame (or in the pan with ghee) till it puffs.
- 5
Brush with butter or ghee, stack in a cloth to keep steam-soft, and serve immediately.
Chef's tip
Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
