Bhapa Posto Paturi (Steamed Poppy Seeds Paste in Banana Leaf)
#dussehra - Bengalis love for posto (poppy seeds) is quite well known. They have this incredible knack of dishing out amazing recipes with it. So let me share my version of just a simple and homemade delicacy where I have steamed the poppy seeds paste along with other ingredients, wrapped in a banana leaf. It is just divine and is best relished with plain steamed rice. A drizzle of some extra mustard oil does wonders to this dish.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Grind the poppy seeds paste with very little water into a paste. Mix with the remaining ingredients and keep aside. Place the banana leaves on the heat to make them pliable.
* Step 2
Now take one leaf and place some of the posto paste in the centre and gently fold them. Do the same with the rest of the mix.
* Step 3
Steam for 10-12 minutes and serve them with plain steamed rice.
