About Aloo posto

Aloo Posto is a Bengali vegetarian dish known for its simplicity and rich flavors. Originating from the eastern Indian state of West Bengal, it features potatoes (aloo) cooked in a fragrant paste of poppy seeds (posto), with mustard oil often providing its distinctive aroma. Mild spices like turmeric, red chili, and nigella seeds enhance the dish without overpowering its natural character. Aloo Posto is high in carbohydrates due to the potatoes and contains healthy fats from mustard oil and the poppy seeds, which are a source of essential minerals like magnesium and calcium. However, its nutritional profile may vary depending on the oil and portion sizes used. Typically served as part of a larger meal with rice or flatbread, Aloo Posto is a comforting, plant-based option that balances indulgence with nutritional benefits when enjoyed in moderation.
