Data posto or drumsticks with poppy seeds.
Data posto is a very common dish of Bengali household. You can make it with tender and thick both type of drumsticks. If you are using thick drumstick scrap the skin before using. Sometimes we make it with only poppy seeds and green chilli paste and sometime adding mustard powder with or without poppy seeds. All the three dishes taste totally different and delicious.

5. Heat 1& 1/2 tablespoon mustard oil in a pan or wok.

Add salt, turmeric powder and green chilli, poppy seeds paste. Mix well.

8. If you want to make it with poppy seeds and mustard, then soak 1 tablespoon mustard powder in 3 tablespoon water for 10 – 15 minutes. Add with poppy seeds and green chilli paste. But first time try it with only poppy seeds and then try with mustard to enjoy both taste.

9. When dried up add water. Cover and cook till potatoes and drumsticks becomes soft and dried up completely.

    This curry looks delicious. I hadn’t realised that drumsticks could also be so thin and fresh. Only ever seen the thick ones. Love the idea of adding poppy seeds to the curry mixture.

    A very unique recipe of using poppy seeds with drumstick in a curry..also learnt from your recipe that even fresh and tender drumstick can be used for cooking. I always thought they need to be thick and mature enough to impart the flavor.
