Kanji Vada
KANJI VADA
Kanji is fermented drink usually prepared during Holi festival in Northern part of India. It is probiotic drink which is digestive, healthy and very tasty. So the basic idea to make it on festivals is that; so many different Pakwan(Dishes) are prepared to celebrate any festive occasion, and it is not easy to digest them. Here Kanji comes for the rescue.It is digestive and can solve many problems. It makes the digestion easy, works like Panacea in Acidity and Gas and relieved one from all these gastric problems. It is made in different ways like Carrot kanji, Beetroot kanji, Kanji-Vada etc. Kanji-Vada is just kanji but served with Moong dal or Urad dal Vadas. Hence, it is called Kanji-Vada. Recipe is slightly different. Turmeric is used to make the drink Yellow. It gets ready in three days then Vadas are made. Making Vada is really easy. I use half n half (Moong and Urad Dal in equal part) ratio. Soak it for at least 4 hrs. and grind it in smooth paste. Then make small Key-Lime size Vada. Soak them in Water and at the time of serving Vada(Pakoda) are added to the Kanji.
