How to make Urad Dal Puris

For bedmi puri recipe | urad dal puri recipe | bedmi kachori | urad dal kachori | pick and clean the urad dal. Measure ½ cup and keep aside.
Wash the urad dal under running water or 2-3 times in a bowl while changing the water.
Drain the washed urad dal and transfer it to a bowl. Pour enough water and soak the urad dal.
Cover with a lid and keep aside to soak for 2 to 3 hours.

After soaking, drain completely. You will notice it will almost double in size.
Transfer the washed and soaked urad dal to a mixer jar.
Add ¼ cup of water.
Blend into a smooth paste. It should have a smooth coarse feel to get good texture and taste. If the urad dal paste is too coarse then it will not puff up while frying.

Add all the remaining ingredients starting with 1 cup whole wheat flour.
Add nigella seeds.

Add salt to taste.

Mix well and knead into a soft dough using 2 tbsp of water if needed.
Cover the dough with the lid and keep aside for 10 minutes.

Similarly, roll out all the portions of urad dal puris.
To deep-fry urad dal puri, heat the oil in a kadhai and drop a few puris at a time. The oil should neither be too hot or too cold. To check if the oil is at the right temperature or no, drop a small portion of dough in the oil. If it comes up quickly, the oil is too hot and this would brown the urad dal poori quickly. If it takes a lot of time, the oil is not hot enough and this would make the urad dal ki puri absorb a lot of oil.
Lightly press the urad dal poori using a slotted spoon to help it puff up. Once it gets golden brown and slightly crispy at the bottom, flip it and fry another side. Deep-fry till it puff-ups or turns golden brown in color from all the sides.
