Step-by-Step Guide to Make Aloo Posto

STEP 1.Start by grinding the poppy seeds into a smooth paste. You can add a little water to make it easier to blend. This paste is the heart of the dish, so be sure to grind it well for the best texture.

STEP 1.Heat mustard oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Once they’re fragrant, add the green chili and sauté for a few seconds. This will give the dish a nice kick.

STEP 2.Add the cubed potatoes to the pan. Sprinkle turmeric powder and salt. Stir the potatoes so they’re evenly coated with the spices.

STEP 3.Now, it’s time to add the poppy seeds paste. Mix it well with the potatoes, ensuring the paste coats each cube of potato. You can adjust the consistency by adding a little water if necessary. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.

STEP 4.Once the potatoes are tender, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve hot. Pair it with steamed rice or rotis for a complete meal.
