(Sol Kadi)

Sol Kadi

Had as an effective appetizer just before meals and during meals, or even as a digestive after meals. It is very much a part of meals in most Goan and Konkan homes.

    TIPS:

  • Sol Kadi can be had as a drink. Also, some like to pour it over boiled rice and relish it. Hence, the consistency can be adjusted as desired by adding or reducing the amount of water.
  • Kokum is a fruit whose peels are sun-dried and stored to use as a souring agent. It is very abundant in the west coast region of India and is considered a good digestive.
  • Kokum peels may be available off the shelf in dried form in Indian stores.

Serve chilled before, after or with meals.
