North Indians traditionally use mustard seeds, spices, and water to make the fermented drink kanji. It's popular as a digestive aid because of its sour taste and abundance of probiotics. The addition of whole wheat dumplings made from Aashirvaad Namma Chakki 100% Khapli Atta elevates this recipe's flavour to the next level. Because of its rich mineral, protein, and fibre content, the ancient grain known as 'khapli wheat' (emmer wheat) has gained widespread attention. As they absorb the kanji's sour and spicy undertones, the dumplings become a filling and flavourful meal. With kanji's probiotic punch and Khapli atta dumplings' texture, nutrition, and fullness, this combination is one of the best ways to keep your gut happy.
