Mehebub loves Posto (Poppy Seed) based dishes a lot and he can have it any form; be it sweet or savory. Why not, after all, he is from Birbhum! Well, I people from Birbhum district prefer posto as compared to people from other districts. His love for Posto is unconditional. Needless to say, he loves his portion of Posto Badam Halwa.
