Odia Phala Kanji


Phala Kanji


Kanji is famous Southern Odisha dish specially of villager's , they skip one time rice lunch and enjoy the Kanji to fulfill their nutritional lunch.

Actually this is ONE-POT-MEAL of farmers ,where the sour rice and Vegetable's combine with Torani (fermented water).

Farmers used to take "Pakhala bhat pot" to the fields for lunch. They eat with any raw roots or veggies like raw onions, radish, cucumber,green chillies or fried Vadi.

For a better and nutritious meal they collect varieties of Vegetable's and cook a delicious Kanji for lunch.
