Posto or poppyseeds are a very common ingredient in any Bengali kitchen and we owe this to the British who colonised us and made our ancestors grow them in their lands making it popular in our ancestral kitchens and as a lineage is followed by us but that’s another story. That this postor bora is delicious. When teamed up with steamed rice they are again a marriage made in heaven. Just sevour them on a rainy afternoon with steam rice and then you know how much of what I’m saying is true! Sharing therefore with you all the recipe of the same. Enjoy this poppycacy!Ingredients:

#deepfried - Here are some delicious pakoras (fritters) made out of Centella leaves (Thankuni Pata in Bengali). This particular herb is not much known, but is popular in the North Eastern regions, especially West Bengal and also in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Vietnam & Thailand. These leaves have some medicinal benefits and are relished as pakoras, chutney, stir fries, juice or salads. Fortunately, I was able to spot these greens in one of the supermarkets here and so decided to prepare some pakoras as a tea-time snack.

The "Mrs. Corn" recipe that COOKPAD user Muu uploadedwas really delicious, so I thought about making a "Mr. Okra" version. But when I checked my refrigerator I found I had some natto that was about to expire... I wondered if a natto fritter could be delicious?! I gave it a try and it was delicious. Enjoy it with plenty of lemon, grated daikon radish and soy sauce, or mentsuyu. Nutrition info per 1 serving - 431 kcal, 17.2 g protein, 24.8 g of fat, 33.4 g carbohydrates.Please be careful not to burn the fritters. I have been asked about what to do with the included sauce and mustard that comes with a packet of natto. You can mix it into the batter as a flavoring, which is also delicious. Just be careful as adding the sauce and mustard makes the fritters even more liable to getting burnt. Recipe by ShinonomeA
