HOW TO MAKE JHINGE AND POTATO POSTO (POPPY SEED PASTE WITH RIDGE GOURD AND POTATO)


Soak the Poppy Seeds with water in a bowl, along with the dry red chilis at least for 15 minutes. 

Then strain out the poppy seeds from the water with the help of a tea strainer.  

Make a fine paste of the poppy seeds along with the dry red chilis. I use the grinding stone to make the poppy seeds paste. You can use any grinder of your choice to make the poppy seeds paste. 

Cut the ridge gourds and the potatoes into small pieces. 

Wash the ridge gourd and potato pieces thoroughly with enough water. Wash at least twice. Take out them from the water. 

Drain out the water completely from the ridge gourd and the potato pieces. 

I have semi boiled the potato pieces before frying.  If you wish, you can also semi boil the potato pieces. While frying the semi boiled vegetables, very little oil will be needed. 

Otherwise, you can just start frying the potato pieces after cutting and washing them.
