Recipe
1
Soak the dried kokum petals in warm water for about 20 minutes until they release their bright pink color and tangy flavor.
2
Extract the thick and thin juices from the grated coconut using a grinder and a muslin cloth, keeping the first and second extractions separate.
3
Blend the green chillies, garlic, ginger, and cumin seeds into a smooth paste and mix it into the thin coconut milk extraction.
4
Strain the soaked kokum water and combine it with the spiced thin coconut milk, adjusting salt to taste.
5
Stir in the rich first extraction of coconut milk gently, ensuring the mixture does not curdle.
6
Chill the kadhi in the refrigerator for an hour, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, and serve alongside warm, soft Goan pao bread.
