<p>We’ll start by grinding our yellow mustard, black mustard, and cumin seeds into a coarse powder. To this we’ll add salt, black salt, red chili powder, and water. Now we’ll let this kanji ferment for a day.</p>
<p>For the vadas, take soaked moong dal and blend coarsely with ginger and green chili. To this, add some crushed spiced and give it a mix. Pour over a mustard oil tadka and definitely don’t miss this, this will totally take your vadas to a new level.</p>
<p>Now we’ll fry the vadas until golden brown. I made these mini round ones but you can make the traditional flatter ones too.</p>
<p>Now, we’ll transfer the vadas into salted hot water and let soak for 20 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and transfer to the kanji.</p>

<p>And now comes the most important step! We’ll give this a smoky twist using some charcoal, ghee, and hing. This adds a lovely depth of flavor, especially when smoked in a terracotta pot, which is how I’ve grown up having it.</p>
<p>After it’s smoked, we’ll cover and let the kanji vada ferment for a few hours just to help all the flavors infuse.</p>
<p>When we’re ready to serve, mix in fresh mint and any in-season fruits like lychee, orange, and strawberry. Sprinkle with some masala and you can serve this with extra charcoal on the side for a fun, smoky effect.</p>
