janhi allu posta Recipe

Recipe By mallickpujarani22

A Odia recipe finally! The recipe was sitting in my drafts for a long time and I just kept postponing it. Janhi aloo posto is one of my favourites, the recipe posted here is straight from my mom’s kitchen. This curry is a regular side dish in lunch during the summers at my mom’s place. Most of the poppy seed based curries are eaten with rice in Odisha as rice is the staple diet here. Till date I don’t enjoy this with Rotis or Chapatis.
