Lal Gajar Ki Kanji

  • Duration: 25 minutes
  • Serves: 2 people

  • Spice Level: Zero

Authenticity Slice

During the winters in Northern India, one can find the unique purple carrots to make kanji, but since they are not found elsewhere, you can instead use Delhi (red) carrots and add beetroot to get the beautiful purple hue to the drink.

Trivia Tadka

During the Holi festival, kanji is one of the favoured beverages served to family and friends.
