Solkadhi

Solkadhi is a refreshing drink from Konkan (Maharashtra). It is a perfect summer cooler as well as great digestive drink. You can even have it with steamed rice as a curry and also after meal as a digestive agent. Such a versatile dish, isn't it?

It is made with kokum and coconut milk. If having with rice do give a tempering of mustard seeds, cumin seeds, red chili, curry leaves and oil to it as it tastes even better.
