About this dish

Kānji is a rice water based dish traditionally prepared in Indian states including Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Depending on how it is prepared, it is eaten with soup or curry. It is one of the Chappan Bhog (56 food items also known as Mahaprasad) offered to the Hindu god Jagannath of Puri as part of the last meal of the day (known as Badaw Singhara Bhogaw). During the Odia festival of Kanji Anla Osha, kanji is offered to the Hindu goddess Sathi in Odisha.
