Simple comfort food recipes to nourish the Soul

April 7, 2010 For the little wonders

Soul..err..Sol Kadhi and a Quiz

Sol Kadhi..or is it Soul Kadhi? 🙂

Chilled refreshing Sol Kadhia perfect antidote for the soaring temperatures!

This soul pleasing, palate teasing drink is native to Goa and konkan region of Maharashtra.

Kokum the key ingredient used in this soothing drink has many culinary and medicinal uses. Dried rind of Kokum fruit known as Amsul is a regular souring agent in Maharashtrian cuisine and is used in typical Maharashtrian specialties like Usal and Amti.

Kokum also aids digestion and has a cooling effect. Kokum juice is a regular refresher in my home during summer months just like Nimboo Pani (Lemon juice). I love eating the sweet and tangy Amsul pieces as it is; settles down the stomach nicely! 

One of the most popular and signature preparations using Kokum is Sol Kadhi; Coconut milk flavoured with Kokum juice and some other spices. A relatively simple preparation if you have coconut milk handy. My mom extracts the coconut milk at home, a bit laborious but homemade fresh coconut milk makes the Sol Kadhi all the more flavorful.

I made this Sol Kadhi for the Chaat party we hosted last week. I used packaged coconut milk since I made it for around 20 people.

I used unsweetened Kokum juice (not syrup) locally known as Kokum Aagal to flavour the coconut milk. The Kokum juice apart from its flavor gives a lovely pinkish tinge to the coconut milk.

    Sol kadhi looks so good- we have soaring temps here and I’d love to have a sip of that stuff!
    The rolls look so interesting. I’m going to guess you made dosas with regular white batter and others with spinach (green) batter and beetroot (pink) batter, then rolled them up with peanut powder chutney and cut them into cross sectional slices. Looks tempting!

    My experiments with cooking go way back, when I stayed in a hostel for my higher studies. The ‘Mess’ (literally) food was good just to satisfy the stomach, not the palate. I really missed my mom’s food then. I still do. A self confessed foodie, I love trying out new recipes. ...
