Ingredients:
1-2 tbsp mustard oil
1kg/2lb potatoes, peeled and diced into 1cm/½in cubes
½ tsp dried turmeric
½ tsp red chilli powder
salt to taste
For the tempering:
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp five spice mix (panchphoran)
1 green chilli finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
Method:
1. In a wide non-stick pan, heat the oil to a medium-high heat and add the potatoes.
2. Sauté the potatoes until they are nearly cooked. Add the turmeric, chilli powder and salt and fry until they are cooked through.
3. In a separate small shallow frying pan heat the oil until it begins to smoke. Mix together the five spice mix ingredients, and add two teaspoons to the hot pan. The seeds will crackle and pop, so be careful when handling the mixture. Add the green chillies and the chopped coriander and stir for a few seconds. Pour this mixture onto the cooked potatoes.
4. Serve immediately.

hey girl, this is not technically posto. Posto in bengali means Poppy seeds and alu posto, is a dish that's made with potatoes and poppy seed paste. :). So the recipe you've mentioned here will be just right if we add the posto paste to the fried potatoes.
