Torai posto (Ridge gourd with poppy seeds)!

in Plant Power (Vegan) • 24 days ago

Hello ! Welcome to my blog with lots of love, smile and positivity...I wish all to be good and healthy.

My sister in law have a dry fruits shop as she has a wholesale business of dry fruits and some spices like cardamon, nutmeg and poppy seeds.. so she gave me fresh poppy seeds last year in august.. I am not a great fan of poppy seeds but sometimes for the different taste I put this in some of the dish like Torai posto(Ridge gourd), aloo posto (potato) and in some of the garvy based curries for the thickness and texture
White Poppy seeds are legally grown in India and sold in shops.

Today I made Torai Posto that is Ridge Gourd with poppy seeds. It is very delicious , flavourful dish and popular dish of West Bengal. This dish goes well with Roti /Rice.
