I've never tasted posto dish, looks so good!
I always love the combo of aloo n okra. Poppy seeds give extra kick to this fry:)
Priya,
You can add ridge gourd cut into cubes, instead of Okra. It is called 'Jhinge Alu Posto' and its another classic Bengali dish. Try it, I'm sure you'll like it too. Okra Alut Posto has come out very well.
