Today I was in mood of something simple and yet tasty, so I chose the all time favorite potatoes for my dish. In this dish I bring to you the Bengali cuisine once more with Aaloo Poshto. This dish as the later part of the name suggests is made with <em>posta dana<\/em> or poppy seeds which give a great flavor to a regular dish. Poppy seeds are good source of calcium, magnesium and other vitamins and balance out the dish very well. Although you can vary the spices, I loved the chili variety and it went well with my lunch today with home made <em>luchi<\/em> or\u00a0<em>roti&#8217;s<\/em>. Its pretty simple to make it at home and it can even go well when you have an extended family or friends for a meal. This is just something different and yet so simple, go ahead and give it a try with this Aaloo Poshto Recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All you need is (serves 4)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Potatoes &#8211; medium sized 6 (peeled and chopped)<\/li>\n<li>Oil &#8211; 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Poppy seeds &#8211; 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li><em>Kalonji<\/em> &#8211; 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Dry red chilies &#8211; 2 to 3<\/li>\n<li>Green chili &#8211; 2 to 3 (slit in halves)<\/li>\n<li>Turmeric powder &#8211; 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24994\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24994\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/food\/aaloo-poshto\/attachment\/aaloo-poshta-ingredients\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-24994\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24994 size-my-custom-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/2014\/06\/Aaloo-Poshta-Ingredients-665x422.jpg\" alt=\"Key Ingredients for Aaloo Poshta\" width=\"665\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/2014\/06\/Aaloo-Poshta-Ingredients-665x422.jpg 665w, https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/2014\/06\/Aaloo-Poshta-Ingredients-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/2014\/06\/Aaloo-Poshta-Ingredients.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aaloo Poshto Ingredients<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Aaloo Poshto Recipe<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Preparation time<\/strong>: 15 min.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking time<\/strong>: 15 min.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"width: 98%;\">\n<li>Mix poppy seeds with little water and ground them into a coarse paste.<\/li>\n<li>Heat oil in a pan, add <em>kalonji<\/em>, dry red chilies and green chilies and fry for a few seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Add turmeric powder, salt, potatoes and poppy seed paste and cook for few seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Add 1 cup water, cover and cook till potatoes are done and water evaporates.<\/li>\n<li>Serve hot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While making the paste of poppy seeds, add little water at a time (about 1 tsp) and check for consistency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Most regional cuisines in India give both special and day to day recipes.
