Sola kadi(Kokam drink )

Kokam kadi or sol (spelled as "soul") kadi is a good digestive drink, and is a perfect combination with non-vegetarian items; especially the sea food. The item is a must have in Konkani cuisine, especially during the hot, humid summers. This can be had for lunch or dinner. The primary ingredient is the kokam fruit, found predominantly in western coastal regions of India. 

For preparation, you may use the dry skin of kokum soaked in water or raw fruit concentrate called as Kokam aagal. I use kokam aagal in my preparation.

Ingredients:

Shredded coconut-1/2 cup

Garlic cloves-6-8

Green chili - 2

Kokum agal or kokum fruit extract- 5tsp

Water-5 cup

Method:

Grind shredded coconut, garlic clove and green chili with little water.

Take out the cocunut milk from the above gridded mixture using cotton cloth or channi(jali)

Add kokum extract to it. The mixture will have a pinkish hue.

Add remaining water.

Sola kadi is ready to serve.
