Dim Posto: The Creamy Poppy Seed Magic

Bengal mein Posto (Poppy Seeds / Khus-Khus) ek emotion hai. Posto ka swad halka sa meetha aur nutty (kaju jaisa) hota hai. Isey sil-batte par pees kar ek thick paste banaya jata hai.

Dim Posto ek dry/semi-dry dish hai jisme fry kiye hue andon ko hari mirch aur posto ke safed paste ke sath pakaaya jata hai. Yeh bohot hi cooling aur soothing dish hai jisme koi bhi garam masala nahi dalta.
