I like to boil them for 10 minutes. #### **Poppy Seeds** Also known as khus khus, we use the white variety for this recipe. #### **Hot Water** Required to soak the poppy seeds. #### **Onion** Preferably red. Peel and chop finely to get about ½ cup. #### **Tomato Puree** Best to use fresh tomato puree or passata. #### **Fresh Coconut** We need finely grated coconut for this recipe. I have used frozen coconut. The taste is not the same with desiccated so highly recommend using fresh or frozen coconut. Frozen coconut is easily available in all Indian Stores. #### **Turmeric Powder** Haldi or hardar we need a little. #### **Oil** While traditionally mustard oil is used, I have used sunflower oil. My family doesn’t like the taste or mustard oil and secondly, I don’t get it where I live. Can use coconut oil if you want to. #### **Green Chillis** Add according to your taste. Can use chopped or minced. #### **Ginger** Peel and grate or mince the ginger. #### **Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder** Will add a lovely colour to the curry. Kashmiri Red Chilli is generally not too hot. If you don’t have any, add paprika powder. #### **Salt** Add according to your taste. #### **Panch Phoron** For this recipe I like to add panch phoron. Panch Phoron is a mixture of seeds that is popularly used in many Bengali dishes. It consists of equal parts of fennel, fenugreek, mustard, cumin and nigella seeds. Panch means five and phoron means spices in Bengali. For this recipe I took ¼ tsp each of the seeds and mixed it. #### **Dried Red Chilli** Add for tempering. Can omit if you don’t have any. Adds a subtle flavour. To add to the curry. #### **Fresh Coriander** Wash and chop finely. If the stems are tender include them as they are full of flavour.      ## DIM POSTO \| BENGALI EGG CURRY mayurisjikoni Dim Posto is a traditional, popular Bengali style of egg curry made in a creamy, rich gravy consisting of poppy seeds.

Take the pan off the heat. - Add the boiled eggs and roll them in the pan so they get coated with the turmeric powder. Keep the eggs on the side. - Heat oil in the same pan over medium heat. - Add bay leaf, dry red chilli and panch phoron. - Add the chopped onion and stir fry till it becomes soft and translucent. - Add the ginger and chilli pastes. Stir fry for 1 minute. - Add the paste and tomato puree. - Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, ginger and green chilis. Mix well. - Cover the pan and let the gravy simmer for 8-10 minutes on low heat. - Cut the eggs into half and add to the gravy. - Let it simmer for a few seconds. Garnish with coriander and serve with rice or rotis. ### Notes The thickness of the gravy depends on how you enjoy it, thick or slightly thin. I like to add panch phoron for extra flavour. If you use frozen fresh coconut, then don't blend it as it will become too oily. I add it directly to the pan along with ginger and chilli. When I use freshly grated coconut, then I blend it with the poppy seeds and water.

I like to boil them for 10 minutes. #### **Poppy Seeds** Also known as khus khus, we use the white variety for this recipe. #### **Hot Water** Required to soak the poppy seeds. #### **Onion** Preferably red. Peel and chop finely to get about ½ cup. #### **Tomato Puree** Best to use fresh tomato puree or passata. #### **Fresh Coconut** We need finely grated coconut for this recipe. I have used frozen coconut. The taste is not the same with desiccated so highly recommend using fresh or frozen coconut. Frozen coconut is easily available in all Indian Stores. #### **Turmeric Powder** Haldi or hardar we need a little. #### **Oil** While traditionally mustard oil is used, I have used sunflower oil. My family doesn’t like the taste or mustard oil and secondly, I don’t get it where I live. Can use coconut oil if you want to. #### **Green Chillis** Add according to your taste. Can use chopped or minced. #### **Ginger** Peel and grate or mince the ginger. #### **Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder** Will add a lovely colour to the curry. Kashmiri Red Chilli is generally not too hot. If you don’t have any, add paprika powder. #### **Salt** Add according to your taste. #### **Panch Phoron** For this recipe I like to add panch phoron. Panch Phoron is a mixture of seeds that is popularly used in many Bengali dishes. It consists of equal parts of fennel, fenugreek, mustard, cumin and nigella seeds. Panch means five and phoron means spices in Bengali. For this recipe I took ¼ tsp each of the seeds and mixed it. #### **Dried Red Chilli** Add for tempering. Can omit if you don’t have any. Adds a subtle flavour. To add to the curry. #### **Fresh Coriander** Wash and chop finely. If the stems are tender include them as they are full of flavour.      ## DIM POSTO \| BENGALI EGG CURRY Dim Posto is a traditional, popular Bengali style of egg curry made in a creamy, rich gravy consisting of poppy seeds.

This egg curry recipe is actually very easy to prepare.

Take the pan off the heat. - Add the boiled eggs and roll them in the pan so they get coated with the turmeric powder. Keep the eggs on the side. - Heat oil in the same pan over medium heat. - Add bay leaf, dry red chilli and panch phoron. - Add the chopped onion and stir fry till it becomes soft and translucent. - Add the ginger and chilli pastes. Stir fry for 1 minute. - Add the paste and tomato puree. - Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, ginger and green chilis. Mix well. - Cover the pan and let the gravy simmer for 8-10 minutes on low heat. - Cut the eggs into half and add to the gravy. - Let it simmer for a few seconds. Garnish with coriander and serve with rice or rotis. The thickness of the gravy depends on how you enjoy it, thick or slightly thin. I like to add panch phoron for extra flavour. If you use frozen fresh coconut, then don't blend it as it will become too oily. I add it directly to the pan along with ginger and chilli. When I use freshly grated coconut, then I blend it with the poppy seeds and water.
