  • Reap this benefit with a yummy poppy seed chutney.

Do you have trouble sleeping? If your answer to that was a resounding ‘YES!’, this poppy seed chutney is perfect for you. It balances both the vata and pitta, making it a natural sleeping aid. It pacifies the prana vata (a subdosha of vata) that dwells in the mind and the sadhaka pitta (a subdosha of pitta) that is present in the heart. Once these doshas are pacified, you feel calm, centred, and are able to fall asleep easily.

  • As you mix them, keep adding water till it forms a thick paste. Set the paste aside.
