Recipe type: Healthy drink
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 8
RecipeIngredients
  • 1 large organic beet, peeled and cut into thin, long slices
  • 1 large organic carrot, scraped and cut into thin, long slices
  • 6 cups or 1.5 quarts or 1.5 liters filtered water
  • 2 tsp powdered mustard seeds (coarsely powdered is ok)
  • 2 tsp rock salt
  • 2 probiotic capsules (optional)
RecipeInstructions
  1. Take a large glass jar and add the vegetables and the mustard, contents of the probiotic capsules(if adding) and salt. Pour the filtered water to cover all the vegetables completely plus leave about 2 inches of water above. Cover the jar with a dish cloth and place a lid loosely on top and keep it aside on the kitchen counter for 4-5 days or until you see bubbles on top. Taste the liquid to see if you get a strong fermented taste and that's when it is done.
  2. Transfer the drink and the fermented vegetables into separate containers or jars and store in the fridge. You can store kanji in the fridge for up to 4-6 weeks.
