Cooking Steps
Step 1: To begin making the Solkadhi Recipe, first soak kokum pods in 1/2 cup warm water for 30 to 45 minutes
Step 2: Squeeze the pods to extract the juices, drain the pods and retain the warm water with the extract in it
Step 3: In a mortar and pestle, smash together the green chilli, cumin seeds, garlic cloves, coriander leaves and salt
Step 4: Crush them roughly till they come together
Step 5: In a mixer-grinder, blend together the freshly grated coconut with enough water to make a smooth paste
Step 6: Strain the paste through a fine sieve to extract fresh coconut milk from it
Step 7: This process can be repeated a couple of times, but bear in mind that the milk gets thinner with every consecutive extraction
Step 8: In a bowl, add the extracted milk, kokum concentrate, crushed garlic and chilli spice paste and stir well to combine
Step 9: Taste it and adjust seasoning as required
Step 10: Garnish the Solkadhi with mint leaves or chopped coriander and serve chilled
Step 11: Serve this Solkadhi along with a Goan style meal of Amlechi Uddamethi or Sangacho Ross and Steamed Rice
