Recipe
1
Soak the dried kokum petals in warm water for about 20 to 30 minutes until they release their bright pink color and tangy flavor.
2
In a blender, combine the grated coconut, green chillies, garlic, ginger, and cumin seeds with a little water and grind into a smooth paste.
3
Strain the coconut paste through a fine cheesecloth or muslin cloth to extract the first, thick coconut milk, and set aside.
4
Extract a second, thinner milk from the remaining coconut pulp using more water, then mix this thin milk with the soaked kokum water.
5
In a serving bowl, combine the kokum-infused thin coconut milk with the extracted thick coconut milk and season with salt to taste.
6
Garnish the bright pink curry with freshly chopped coriander leaves and let it rest for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
7
Serve the chilled or room-temperature Sol Kadhi alongside piping hot Goan red rice for a comforting traditional meal.
