Solkadhi or Kokum Kadhi is a type of curry usually can have with rice or sometimes they can be drunk after meals. Its well known for its digestive properties.Kokum kadhi is simply made with coconut milk and kokum which is spiced with simple ingredients. Do you know from where i bought this kokums, i picked them in London when i went for the blogger's meet there. I was so excited to see some packets of dried kokums there and i immediately grabbed a packet. I tried this kokum kadhi few days back at home and for my surprise my H and kids loved this kadhi with rice while i had it like a juice.Since this kokum kadhi goes under the theme Regional foods with 'K', am posting this dish today for this week's blogging marathon as we are running a long blogging marathon for this whole month with alphabets and themes.
15nos Dried kokum (soaked for 30minutes in 1 cup of warm water)
1bowl Thick coconut milk
1tbsp Oil
1tsp Ginger (chopped)
1tsp Green chilli (chopped)
1tsp Garlic chopped
1/2tsp Cumin seeds
Chopped coriander leaves
Salt
1tsp Sugar
Heat oil, add the cumin seeds, fry until they turns brown.
Add now the chopped ginger, chopped garlic,chopped green chilly, fry for few minutes.
Add the sugar and salt, meanwhile strain the soaked water from the kokum.
Add this kokum water to the tempered spices, bring it to boil.
Finally add the coconut milk, bring it to boil.
Put off the flame immediately or else the coconut milk will split.
Serve warm with chopped coriander leaves.

I love this kadhi, actually kokum is something which we use in almost every vegetable or curry dish....
I always believe you get all Indian ingredients away from India at the Indian Stores. But walk to your local grocery in the country and you get only regional foods. I have been looking for this ingredient and not found it.
The kadhi looks lovely.
I use Kokum some times in Dal preparations,but never tried in Kadhi nice,going to try this soon.Thanks for sharing.
Very regional and lovely..of all the places you finally got it in London!..:)
Kokomo Kadhi sounds yummy and I like that purple color.
