About Posto bhaja
Posto Bhaja is a traditional Bengali dish made with poppy seeds, known as "posto," lightly toasted or fried with oil and spices. Often combined with ingredients like diced potatoes, onions, or green chilies, it delivers a nutty flavor and velvety texture. Poppy seeds are nutrient-rich, providing healthy fats, calcium, magnesium, and dietary fiber, which support bone health and digestion. However, the dish is typically prepared with generous amounts of oil, which can add significant calories and saturated fat if not moderated. As a plant-based dish, Posto Bhaja aligns well with vegetarian diets, offering a good source of energy and micronutrients. Its simplicity and aromatic taste make it a staple in Bengali households while encouraging mindful consumption due to its calorie-dense nature. Enjoyed as a side dish, it complements rice-based meals and preserves its unique cultural essence.
