I first heard of this recipe on a reality show with Aamir Khan and Saurav Ganguly. Aamir was invited to Saurav's house for dinner where he was served Posto.. the name and all the praises they had for this dish attracted me to find the recipe and try it out. Excitingly, it was REALLY delicious and fairly simple to make. Here is the recipe, try it out yourself to taste the scrumptious-ness.
Potato - 6 medium, cubed
Poppy seeds - 12 tbsp (poppy seeds are called Posta dana in Hindi and Posto in Bengali, the origin of this dish)
green chillies, turmeric powder, jeera seeds, dried red chilli, salt - to taste
Grind the poppy seeds to a powder and add enough water to make a nice thick paste.
Put oil in a nonstick pan and add jeera seeds along with dried red chilli
Put the potatoes in the pan and saute till they get a golden-ish tinge
Put turmeric paste and salt to tenderize the potato
Once the potatoes seem slightly done, add the poppy seeds paste. Add enough water to coat all the potato pieces in this paste. Add chopped green chillies
Cover and cook till all the water evaporates and the potatoes are cooked
Once done, sprinkle chopped coriander and serve hot with chapati or daal-chawal.
