Sol kadi

Every time I visit my in-laws in Goa, I find this on the lunch table. This extremely simple to make drink is  popular amongst the coastal folks, and can be enjoyed as a stand alone or mixed with white rice. I prefer it as a stand alone though.

For 4 glasses of the kadi, you will need:
8-10 kokum, soaked in hot water
Milk of one coconut
Garlic, 2-3 cloves, smashed
2-3 Pepper pods, gently crushed
1 Green chilli, slit into half
Salt
coriander leaves for garnishing

Soak the kokum in hot water for 5 min and then discard the kokum. Take care not to squeeze them. Even gentle squeezing changes the color and taste of the kadi.
Add the coconut milk to this along with salt, pepper, garlic and chilli
Garnish with coriander
Serve chilled or as it is.
