Aloo Posto Recipe-Tips and Tricks-Easy and Quick Bengali Vegetarian Recipe

Alu posto is a classic Bengali dish. Sparing in its use of spices, this preparation relies on the flavours of potatoes, green chillies and nigella seeds for its taste. What stands out, however, is the nutty flavour of the roasted poppy paste, which also provides body and texture to the gravy. This apparently bland-looking dish with just potato and posto is capable of rousing much passion in Bengalis.
Although alu posto is cooked without onion or garlic, in our family we sometimes add a little fried onion to the alu posto for a pleasant variation.

The dish is classic. The video made it even better. I am a vegetarian. My Bengali friends introduced me to this dish. It's been 3 years since I ate with them. Will make it tonight and relive old memories.

আলু পোস্ত বাঙালীদের খুবই প্রিয় l তবে আমি দুটো বিষয় বলতে চাই , suggestion বলতে পারেন ..... 1. আলু সেদ্ধ হওয়ার আগে চিনি দিলে সেদ্ধ হওয়ার সময়টা বেশী লাগে l তাই আমি যেকোনো রান্নাতেই সবার শেষে চিনি দি l 2. যে কোনো পোস্তর রান্নাতেই আমি শেষে পোস্ত বাটা দি , কারণ মা দিদার কাছে শুনেছি পোস্ত নাকি বেশী সময় ধরে রান্না করতে নেই l তাছাড়া , আপনাদের প্রতিটা রান্নাই খুব ভালো l

[@BongEats]

হ্যাঁ, চিনির ব্যাপারটা ঠিকই বলেছ। হয়তো একটু সেদ্ধ হয়ে গেলে দিলেই ভালো। আর আমরা পোস্তটা একটু ভাজা ভাজা করে খেতে পছন্দ করি। কাঁচা গন্ধটা ভালো লাগলে অবশ্য পরে দিলেই ভালো।

I want this to be my last meal. Period. This dish has been something most Bengalis have grown up with. There are diff variations but they all taste the same or better! You can never go wrong with this dish. I couldn’t resist clicking on the pop-up notification as soon as I saw aalu posto.. thanks for this.. really.. love ♥️♥️

[@kittykanchan]

I love aloo posto! Its one of the traditional Bengali recipes, which I cannot keep my hands off!!

[@soumitaghosh6918]

I follow you word to word, all the measurements , timings, everything . Got many compliments from my in-laws and relatives!!! Huge thank you!!! Though we grew up having alu posto frequently, but this tasted the best. Thank you again

[@KamalikaMukherjee81]

It is a nice variation. Though, for me, no 'phoran' for aloo posto ever, except for slit green chillies. Also, no sugar and twice more posto. And a little extra quirk of mine, I let it catch the bottom a little, only to scrap it up later. The little crispy caramelised bit with slight smoky flavour...ahhh...it tastes like nirvana, esp wth steamed rice and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. 😊

[@subarna7]

Yes the brown bits are the best!!!

[@amritamitra8463]

Same here for me... no phoron, only green chilli, no sugar, more posto bata 😊

[@poulo24]

Yes and I remember my mom used to save that part for me!!

So many memories..my grandmother who had trouble sleeping, would take the poppy seed paste, put it in a steel box and steam along with rice. Then she would mix it with a little kancha lonka and shorshe tel. I swear, those afternoon naps were THE BEST.

[@somduttachakraborty20]

[@mjremy2605]

My version I use panch phoron, and holud (turmeric) in it. I also chop the onions and cook potatoes along with it after browning, some kancha longka (hari mirch, green chilis chopped), and then add the turmeric mixed with water to sizzle in pan, before adding more water. Potatoes are diced very small. The texture makes a difference. The poppy seed (posto) is not pulverized, only slightly crushed in a pestle or Mexican molcajete. Yum!
