Bedmi

Bedmi is a popular North Indian breakfast made up of wheat flour, lentils and spices. It is also enjoyed as a street food widely in North India. It is a puffed up stuffed bread which is deep friend and eaten with a side dish. It is preferably eaten during the winters because it is quite heavy and people love heavy food during winter. It is usually paired with a side dish made up of potatoes which is generally tangy and spicy.
