Ingredients
- Beetroot : 1 (Thinly sliced)
- Carrots: 1/4 cup (Thinly sliced)
- Ginger: 1/2 tsp, grated
- Mustard Powder: 2 tsp (Available at grocery store, else use mortar to make fresh from mustard seeds)
- Salt: 1 tsp or to taste
- Pepper: a dash
- Water: 7-8 cups
Directions
- The kanji is best made and stored in a glass jug or earthen pitcher.
- Thoroughly wash, peel and thinly slice or julienne both the beets, ginger and carrots.
- Toss it with salt, mustard powder and a dash of pepper.
- Add plenty of water, ~7-8 glasses and cover the pitcher with a muslin cloth.
- Keep covered for 3-4 days at room temperature.
- If possible, let the jar get some some direct exposure to sunshine, this will enhance the colors & flavors.
- Make sure you stir the mix in the jar once in a day.
- Slowly but surely, the mustard powder starts turning our mix into a sour & tangy drink.
- Kanji should be ready in three days when beets leave their lovely shade and flavor to the water.
