Okra Alu Posto

Most of us know about the famous aloo posto, the popular Bengali potato dish prepared with potatoes along with poppy seeds, for a change i prepared the same alu posto along with few bhindi/okra or lady'sfinger, for my surprise this combo tastes marvellous and this posto gets ready quickly, also vanished within few minutes once i served along with rice..Poppy seeds grounded along with green chillies used to spice up this okra alu posto turned out this dish truly delicious, we enjoyed having this quick and delicious side dish today for our lunch...Sending to Flavors of Bengal guest hosted by Priya,event by Nayna..

    Looks awesome..Never combined okra and alu...always feel that because of the okra the curry becomes sticky..but from the looks, it surely doesn't look anywhere like that:)

    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.

    Regards,
