The probiotic drink took about 3 days to ferment. Make sure you stir daily, twice, to mix the contents well. Refrigerate it and consume within 2 days. The sour, pungent taste is an acquired taste, and once you get used to it, you will crave more of this light drink for the summer.
It is also called Kaanji in Northern India. Mom made this regularly when the weather was hot. Waiting for it to ferment was a real test in patience, especially, as kids when the aroma in the kitchen, drew me to the pitcher, and my hands reached out, to grab a glass of the drink, even before it was ready to taste it.
There are variations of the drink with other ingredients and I will prepare them when the weather is sunny, here, in Seattle, then take pictures and post them here. So be sure to check it out.
A stew has the right balance of veggies and hearty flavor, when you have worked in the yard or after a fitness class.
Eat with tofu green pepper sauteed, pickled onions, and warm bread to complete your meal.
