Aloo Posto

Aloo Posto is a beloved Bengali staple known for its delicate, nutty flavor and simple, satvik profile. Potatoes are simmered until tender in a smooth poppy seed paste, gently perfumed with green chilies, nigella seeds (kalonji), and mustard oil. The result is a mellow, creamy, and subtly spicy dish that pairs beautifully with steamed rice and a wedge of lemon, or alongside dal and other homestyle sides.

• Taste profile: mild, nutty, lightly spicy; signature pungency from mustard oil and kalonji.

• Texture: soft potato cubes coated in a creamy, slightly grainy posto gravy.

• Ideal for: homestyle Bengali meals, light lunch/dinner, and thali sides.

• Serving suggestion: drizzle a few drops of raw mustard oil and garnish with fresh green chilies for authentic aroma.
