¼ tsp. red chilli powder
1 tbsp. Rai (Mustard Seeds)
Salt as per the taste

For vada –

1 cup yellow moong dal
Oil for frying

Instructions:

Take water in a vessel and boil. After boiling let it cool down completely. If you are using mineral water, here is no need to boil.
Grind rai coarsely in a grinder. Add heeng, rai, salt and red chilli powder into water. Mix them properly. Cover this and keep aside for 3-4 days in warm place. Keep stirring the water 2-3 times a day.
After that if kanji gives sour and tangy taste, it is done. Now make vada for kanji.

Process of Vada –

Wash yellow moong dal with water properly and soak for 2 hours.


Then drain excess water and grind into a medium thick and smooth paste.


Take out the grinded dal into a bowl. Beat this grinded dal in one direction to make it light and fluffy. You can use your fingers or beater. It will take approx. 5-10 minutes.
Heat enough oil in a pan or kadhai on medium flame.
Drop small vadas into oil using your fingers. Drop 8-10 vadas at a time or as many as possible.


Reduce heat medium to low and deep fry the vadas. Stir continuously till they turn golden brown from all sides.


When the vadas fluff up, and become golden-brown, drain out them to remove excess oil and keep aside.


Dip all these vadas into kanji and keep this for one day so that vadas can soak sour water completely and give sour and tangy taste.


Serve plenty of kanji with vadas.
