Have been down ... ill ... for the past so many days. Viral. All I am supposed to do now is to gulp down medicines dutifully .... and no cribbing. I did try visiting all the blogs I usually visit ... but was feeling too weak.Today felt like sitting up a little ... so am posting this. Hope to get back to all the beautiful blogs and recipes soon. :-)
This is something that I always make whenever I get to make Posto paste.
Even if I am making the very delicious Posto Bora or our family favourite .... the Dankheer, I do keep a little of the paste aside and make this bhaja / fry.... that too after having a tough time deciding whether I want to have it Kaancha / raw or to fry it.
Simple, yet delicious.
Need : Posto or Poppy seeds paste, sliced onions, chopped green chillies, salt and a little cooking oil ( I used mustard oil ).
How to : Heat a little oil in a wok / kadhai. add the sliced onions and green chillies. Fry for a while.
Add the posto paste ... if it is too thick you can dilute it with a little water.
Add salt and keep frying till it turns dry.
Goes great with hot rice and dal .... but only if you have not already polished it off before it reaches the dining table. :-)
I'll be hopefully back a little after the Bengali New Year. So here's wishing everybody a great Baisakhi and Subho Nobo Borsho !!

Hi Sharmila,
ReplyDeleteI tried this recipe out but it turned out nothing like yours. I am sure I have made a mistake somewhere. Could you please give me a more detailed recipe, with proportions and all?
Thanks-
Rashmi
Thanks for trying it out Rashmi. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan you be more specific as to how your recipe turned out to be so that I can say if there was any mistake?
One thing I can say is the quality of posto affects the dish ... most of the time the posto that we get is not of good quality.
This recipe actually needs no proportions .. just a balance of onions and posto paste.
You can write to me at kichukhonn{at}gmail{dot}com.
i like it raw ....sweet n nutty as a salad or chutny........but this makes a more presentable side dish at a get together i guess....
ReplyDeleteDear Sharmila
