This is a famous summer drink from Maharashtra’s Konkan region.

Sol Kadhi is a drink which is made from Kokum or Aamsol and coconut milk. Sol kadhi cools down the digestive system after eating spicy food. It is a natural digestive. Kokum itself is supposed to be an excellent antidote for acidity.

Sol Kadhi (Konkani Kokum Drink)

Ingredients

• 6-8 Kokum or Aamsol

• 1 cup Coconut, grated

• 1 cup Hot water

• 2 cloves Garlic (crushed)

• 1 tsp of ginger (grated)

• 1-2 Green chillies

• A pinch of Asafoetida (hing)

•  Rock salt to taste

• For garnishing Coriander leaves

Preparation Method

• Soak the kokum in about 3/4th cup water adding the hing and salt.
• Keep aside for 3 – 4 hours.

• Grind the grated coconut, garlic, ginger and green chillies together with little water in a blender or mixer till it grinds to a thick paste like texture.
• Now squeeze the ‘milk’ out of the paste and keep aside.
• Add another 3/4th cup of water to the dry remains and run the mixer again for a minute or so. Again extract the milk – adding to the original extract.
• Repeat this process two to three times till basically all the ‘milk’ gets extracted from the coconut . (This process can be repeated a couple of times, but bear in mind that the milk gets thinner with every consecutive extraction.)
• Discard the kokum from the water, add the coconut milk mixture into the kokum water, mix well to get a creamy pink coloured solkadhi.
• Taste it and adjust seasoning as required.
• Keep aside for an hour or more . (It is important to let the Solkadhi rest for at least an hour before you consume it.)
• Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve chilled.

Chef’s Tip : And remember to stir the Kadhi every time you serve it to get best taste.

Tadaaaaaaa… Yummy Sol Kadhi is ready to get into your tummy which is soo good and relaxing for summer times as well ☀️ ????
