(Solkadhi, Kokum kadhi)
Jump to recipe ↓
Sol Kadhi is a Maharashtrian special of Konkan Belt. It is the blend of kokum syrup and coconut milk. It can be had as an appetizer or after having a heavy lunch for digestive purpose. I love this because it has a different flavour and taste. Let us learn how to prepare this simple, easy and non cooking item. The kokum should be fresh to get the desired colour. In case the kokum is old, you can add little beetroot water in it.
