Finally, my fav post is here
Sadly, I dont’ have a picture of the dish! But ‘googling’ for solkadi will get you the pic
Kokum forms the main part of this kadhi. You can find it in any konkani store.
Here is how I make Solkadi:
Ingredients:
2 cups (vaati) freshly grated coconut
2-3 green chillies
around 2 cups drinking water
4-5 pieces of kokum
salt to taste
Method:
In a bowl, add little water, kokum and some salt.
In a mixie jar, add freshly grated coconut and green chillies. Add 1/2 vaati water and grind for around 30 secs. Take a rounds of the ground mix and using a stainer, stain the juice into the bowl.
Repeat till the juice is extracted, and the mix is dried out. Grind again with another 3/4 - 1 vaati of water for around 30-45 secs. The ground mix will become thin. Strain using the procedure described above.
Solkadi is ready ![]()
Add salt to taste to the kadi - taste and then add, as adding more salt will spoil the dish!
Garnish with finely chopped coriander.
Optionally add 2-3 flakes of garlic, finely chopped or pounded - this tastes real yum!
Adjust green chillies as per taste.
Shorcut Solkadi : Use 1 vaati ready made coconut diluted with little water. Add in slitted green chillies, kokum and salt to taste
