The cozy kitchen - probiotic drink kaanji

         Friends Kanji is a probiotic drink made generally in northern Indian states. Being a probiotic drink it is extremely good for the gut and  improves digestion. Traditionally Kanji recipe is made with black carrots. I do not get black carrots and I make this healthy drink with red carrots.

         Kanji is spiced with ground mustard seeds, red chilli powder and black salts or salts. The carrots , spices, seasonings are mixed with some boiled cooled water and kept to ferment for a few days.

        The entire drink with it's ingredients is filled in a glass or ceramic jar. These jars are kept in the sunlight and the drink is allowed to ferment for 2 to 3 to 4 days.

         Kanji is served as an apptiser drink. It has a sour, spicy and pungent taste.

Hello friends, today weather was so mesmerising so I decided to make mumbai bhelpuri with garama garam tea. This street side recipe can easily be made at home in minutes. A mix of  rice puffs or murmura, finely chopped vegetable and sweet and spicy chuteny makes bhel. plus, we add some sev and coriander leaves to it to complete it.  This recipe is for geela or wet bhel as it has all the chutenies in it. The other recipe is that of sukha or dry bhel. It has all the veggies and murmura with sev but no chutenies. This is perfect as a quick snack with chai.
