This is a marwari delicacy of moong dal vadas immersed in tangy mustard flavoured liquid. The 'kanji' or 'rai ka pani' as it is known needs to be prepared a day in advance so that all the flavours mellow down.

The vadas are added the following day. Kanji vadas are a popular snack sold on the streets throughout Rajasthan. Chukandar (beetroot) kanji is also popular and is specially prepared for the festival of Holi.

Instead of moong dal vadas, large chunks of beetroot are marinated in 'rai ka pani' or 'rai ka achaar' to give it a rich red colour. Serve plenty of kanji with the vadas so that you can enjoy a large sip of the kanji once the vadas are polished off.

Also try other Rajasthani snacks like Pyaaz ki Kachori and Khamiri Green Peas Puris .

2 1/2 cups yellow moong dal (split yellow gram) , soaked for 1 1/2 hours and drained

    water should not b kept in the fridge until kanji is fermented with mustard seed.for kanji is is required to keep water mixed with mustard powder in sun for 4 or 5 days before putting it in fridge and soak vadas.
