Posto Begun From Mom's Kitchen : All Time Favorite Of Bongs

Generally I don’t like brinjal preparation much.  But when it comes to Posto Begun is one of the favorite Bengali dish which I just can’t avoid. But this time I didn’t wait for my mom to cook the dish for me. I just took the recipe and try to prepare the dish for the first time. Believe me, it really rocks at the lunch table.

Then add the thick paste of posto, plain curd and green chilies with the shallow fried bringal. Stir it for 1 minute at low flame. Then put the flame high and add water (half cup). Add salt as required and sugar. Cook until it comes into a gravy form. Serve hot with rice or roti.
