Bengal's Most Treasured Spice

Posto — the Bengali name for poppy seeds — holds a place of reverence in Bengali cuisine unlike any other spice. Creamy, nutty, and subtly sweet, these tiny white seeds are ground into a paste that forms the soul of iconic dishes like Aloo Posto, Posto Bora, and Doi Posto. In Bengal, posto is not just an ingredient — it is comfort food, nostalgia, and tradition in every bite.
