by 27 Comments

Daal ki poori/ -Mildly spiced lentil puffs -speciality of Northern India

Daal poori,  is a speciality of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Khasta kachori’s are made with spicy urad daal stuffing,and dal poori /bedvi /Bedai is the easy and quick version of kachori in which ground dal paste,spices and flour are mixed together to make the dough,but both -kachori and daal poori taste equally delicious.This is served with thin and spicy potato curry and sweet and sour pumpkin but at some places they also serve it with spicy choley/chana masala .This daal poori  is so delicious that you can enjoy it with just pickle and a cup of tea.
I have posted Moong daal ki Khasta kachori  which are equally delicious and you can try these bedmi pooris with and U.P style thin aloo curry/Mathura ke dubki wale aloo  .
