What is Aloo Posto

“Aloo” translates to potatoes, and “posto” refers to poppy seeds in the

Bengali language. Therefore, the name of this traditional dish from
Bengal. In different parts of India, poppy seeds are known as “khus
khus.”

Aloo Posto features potatoes cooked in a delectable paste of spiced

poppy seeds. The dish balances the earthy flavors of potatoes with
nutty poppy seeds, spicy green chillies, fragrant nigella seeds, a few
savory ground spices & seasonings, and the distinct pungent touch of
