Aloo Posto - Potato with poppy seeds

For father's day me and P cooked dinner. We decided to make a Bengali dish in reminiscence of N's Culcutta days. I looked online for Bengali vegetable recipes and came across an interesting dish: Aloo Posto. Posto means poppy seeds.

Aloo Posto

Soak poppy seeds in water for a couple of hours

Boil potatoes--I did so in the microwave
Grind the poppy seeds with some water and a couple of green chills

In oil:

Cumin seeds + chopped onions + lots of turmeric + potatoes + poppy seeds paste

Keep on heat for sometime and then switch off.

Done!
