Aloo Posto

After the heavenly Sondesh, here's Aloo Posto - another yummy-licious from Bengal!!

You'll need:

* 4 boiled potatoes
* 1 cup cooking oil
* 6 green chilies
* 2 bay leaves
* 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
* 2 tbsp poppy seeds
* Salt to taste

1. First of, peel & cut the potatoes into cubes; and set aside for later use.

2. Now, in a food processor, grind 3 chilies, turmeric powder, poppy seeds & salt to form a thick paste.

3. Iske baad, add 1 tbsp water to this paste, and smear this paste on to the potatoes.

4. Now, heat the cooking oil & fry the bay leaves & the remaining 3 chilies. Then, add the potatoes on a low flame, stirring constantly.

5. Finally, as the oil heats more, move to the flame to medium, then to simmer. Once the potatoes turn golden brown, drain the oil & remove them from the flame.

Aloo Posto done!!
