Black Carrot Drink/Kaanji
Kaanji is a fermented drink made for the festivals specially on Holi.It is made up with water,black carrots,mustard seeds and beetroot.Its a flavorful drink which is very good for digestion.
Normally my mom makes kaanji for me,but this time i have learned  from her and its really easy to make.Kanji takes around 3 days to be made properly,we have to keep the kanji jar in proper sunlight to make it ready to drink.Kaanji made up of carrots is a nutritional hero of this drink.It also keeps you away from heat strokes and gives you instant relief from the scorching heat.



kaanji acts as a appetizer drink which helps you to keep your stomach light specially in summers.Kanji is a tasty drink which you can serve when some relative or friends come to your house.
An easy drink which is not at all harmful for your children as they can enjoy this after coming back from school in scorching heat.It helps you to keep hydrated and energized also.Having chilled kaanji is a total bliss in summers.So here goes the pungent recipe of Black Carrot Drink -
