Kaanji is ideally a broth that is obtained by boiling grains like rice. It is very easy-to-digest and often recommended during recovery to overcome debility. It can be had as breakfast or supper. It is highly nutritious as it extracts all the goodness of the grains. It can be made sweet or savoury. The recipe can be modified based on the requirements for particular doshas.
