Craving a fermented drink that combines traditional health benefits with a fiery kick? Kanji with green chili flavor transforms the classic purple carrot drink into a metabolism-boosting, immunity-enhancing powerhouse that delivers both probiotics and capsaicin benefits in every sip.
Why Green Chili Makes Kanji More Effective
Enhanced Metabolism and Fat Burning
Green chilies contain capsaicin, which increases thermogenesis and boosts metabolic rate by up to 25% for several hours after consumption. When combined with Kanji’s natural probiotics, this creates a dual-action effect that supports weight management while improving digestive health.
Superior Immunity Support
The vitamin C content in green chilies (over 100mg per 100g) works synergistically with Kanji’s beneficial bacteria to strengthen immune response. This combination provides both immediate antioxidant protection and long-term gut immunity enhancement.
Better Digestive Fire (Agni)
According to Ayurveda, green chilies stimulate digestive fire while Kanji’s fermented nature soothes the digestive tract. This balance makes Kanji with green chili flavor particularly effective for people with sluggish digestion or bloating issues.
Anti-inflammatory Properties
Capsaicin’s natural anti-inflammatory compounds complement the gut-healing properties of fermented vegetables, creating a powerful drink for reducing systemic inflammation.
How to Make Kanji with Green Chili Flavor
Ingredients:
- 4-5 purple carrots (chopped)
- 3-4 fresh green chilies (slit lengthwise)
- 2 tbsp mustard seeds (coarsely ground)
- 1 tbsp rock salt
- 4-5 cups filtered water
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
Preparation Method:
- Sterilize a glass jar with boiling water
- Layer chopped carrots and slit green chilies alternately
- Mix mustard seeds, salt, and black pepper in water
- Pour the spiced water over vegetables, ensuring complete submersion

Optimal Usage for Maximum Benefits
Daily Consumption Guidelines
- Morning: 150ml on empty stomach for metabolism boost
- Pre-meal: 100ml 30 minutes before lunch for digestive preparation
- Evening: 100ml post-workout for recovery and hydration
Duration and Frequency
Start with 100ml daily for the first week, then gradually increase to 300ml daily. For therapeutic benefits, consume consistently for 21-30 days.
Enhancing the Green Chili Effect
- Add a pinch of ginger powder for additional digestive support
- Include curry leaves during fermentation for enhanced flavor and nutrients
- Consume at room temperature to preserve probiotic activity
Who Should Exercise Caution with Green Chili Kanji
Avoid If You Have:
- Active gastric ulcers or severe acid reflux
- Hemorrhoids or anal fissures (capsaicin can cause irritation)
- Kidney stones (high sodium content from fermentation)
- Pregnancy (consult healthcare provider due to spice content)
Reduce Quantity If:

The Science Behind Green Chili Kanji’s Effectiveness
Probiotic-Capsaicin Synergy
Research shows that capsaicin can enhance the survival and effectiveness of beneficial bacteria in the gut, making Kanji with green chili flavor more potent than regular fermented drinks.
Bioavailability Enhancement
Green chilies’ natural oils help improve absorption of fat-soluble vitamins present in fermented carrots, maximizing nutritional benefits.
pH Balance Optimization
The fermentation process creates an ideal pH environment (3.5-4.0) where both probiotics thrive and capsaicin remains stable, ensuring consistent potency.
Key Takeaway
Kanji with green chili flavor combines traditional fermentation wisdom with modern nutritional science, delivering enhanced metabolism, stronger immunity, and improved digestion through its unique probiotic-capsaicin partnership. This spicy variation transforms a simple fermented drink into a comprehensive wellness solution that works with your body’s natural processes for optimal health benefits.
