How To Cook
Posto and Bengalis are the match made in heaven; the way the Bengalis use posto in iconic recipes is unmatchable. With Doctors’ choice best mustard oil, let’s make Data Posto Recipe more special.
Ingredients:
- 200g ridge gourd stalks (data), cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp Doctor’s Choice Mustard Oil
- ¼ cup poppy seeds (posto), soaked for 30 minutes
- 2 green chilies (adjust as per taste)
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- ½ cup water
- ½ tsp sugar (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Posto Paste
Grind soaked poppy seeds with one green chilli pepper and water to create a thick paste. Stir the wet poppy seed mixture with one green chilli and a little water until it becomes thick and consistent. Set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Data
Heat Doctor’s Choice Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil in a kadhai until small smoke appears, then reduce the heat. Heat Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil before adding the data for 2-3 minutes of sautéing until they turn slightly tender.
Step 3: Add the Spices
Add turmeric powder together with salt to the sautéed data. Stir the mixture thoroughly before cooking it for a second, 2 minutes.
Step 4: Cook with Posto Paste
Add the prepared posto paste to the mixture while evenly combining the ingredients together. Combine 1/2 cup of water into the mixture while continuing to cook it on a low flame during 7–8 minutes until oil separates. Adjust the salt before you may sweeten the dish according to your taste.
Step 5: Final Touch & Serve
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of Doctor’s Choice Mustard Oil for an extra kick of flavour. The dish’s last accompaniment must be hot steamed rice, garnished with a slit green chilli.
Relish the authentic Data Posto recipe with benefits of omega 3 in mustard oil, which doesn’t only add the goodness but serves as a heart-healthy and delicious bengali meal.
