Nuts and yogurt are rich and kapha provoking. Pungent parsley and black pepper help cut the heaviness.

preparation
To reduce astringency of walnuts boil for ten minutes and strain before using. You may also soak them for several hours. Or, use Ysha's technique of roasting the walnuts for twenty minutes or less.

Place walnuts, salt, and black pepper in a food processor until smooth and the oil begins to express. Then add remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Voila!

questions & comments
Extra sensitive postpartum mothers enjoy lactation promoting benefits from basil. Vatas may also want to substitute fresh basil for parsley.

Pecans are less astringent than walnuts. Substituting pecans and adding 1 tbsp honey are more rejuvenating and vata balancing. Add 4 tablespoons of dark lignan rich flax oil for magical chemistry combining the sulfur bearing proteins of both the yoghurt and nut with the electron rich lipids (EFA3) in a hi lignan flax oil. Serve it over hot food to cut the raw qualities. This food can be introduced a few weeks after the birth.

Note: The magic won't happen without enough dark lignans in the oil. Dark lignans give flax oil a dark brown color and opacity.
