Wandering Foodie Posto - Shorshe, 100 g

Description

About @import url("https://www.desercart.com/static/froala_style_v2.min.css"); Shorshe (mustard seeds) and Posto (poppy seeds) are two essentials of the Bengali cuisine. Nothing gets more Bengali than the combination of these two key ingredients. The locally grown shorshe(mustard) and its oil packs a pungent punch while posto (an ingredient popularized in Bengal by the British, thanks to their Opium Wars with China) smoothens the palate by providing a nutty, neutralizing flavour. This simple yet heady mixture can be used to make a variety of traditional Bengali dishes.
