Potol posto—a creamy, nutty Bengali vegetarian delicacy with poppy seeds and pointed gourd

This recipe with poppy seed paste (posto) and potol is one our favourites. The potol turns soft and soaks up the creamy, nutty sauce. Potol (“parwal”) occupies an ambiguous place in our hearts. It is not our favourite vegetable. Yet, so many of Bengal’s vegetable delicacies are made from it: deep-fried potol, potoler dorma, potol pur, tel potol, doi or doodh potol, kumror-potoler chhoka, and of course the ubiquitous potoler dalna, with or without prawns, and fish curries. We grind its peels into potent bata and bhorta. We even make sweets out of it. I am beginning to suspect that we actually love potol!

  1. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I love potol posto and any recipe with potol ????

  2. Potol gulo odbhut bhalo dekhtay. Khetay o hobe. A much underrated veggie. Posto khelay ki jhimuni ashe?

  3. This is a super simple recipe & I am a big time potol lover. But honestly speaking, watching your videos has such a calming effect. ❤️❤️❤️

  4. This receipe is different. We do not put aloo, Kalo jire and narkol. And patol is also being boiled for few Minutes in posto gravy.

  6. Posto তে নারকেল মেশালে সেটা কি আর authentic posto হয় ????
