Kaanji

Our friend Bharat was recently visiting back home in India and posted a pic of the Kaanji that his mom made. It looked interesting, so I have it a go. It's fermented carrots and beets; you drink the liquid and eat the pickled veg. Pics are day 1,2,3. It probably could have used an extra day but was still good.

I followed this recipe, but in case the link disappears here it is:
