Solkadhi is a type of probiotic drink, an appetizer originating from the Indian subcontinent, usually consumed with rice or sometimes after a meal. Popular in the Konkan regions, especially Goa, Mangalore, Northern parts of Karnataka (especially Belagavi) and parts of coastal Maharashtra, it is made from coconut milk and dried kokum skins (agal/amsul), whose anthocyanin pigments provide a deep purple-pink colour.
Preparation
Solkadhi [1] is prepared with the liquid extract of fresh coconut known as coconut milk. It is usually mixed with agal or kokum, a little bit of salt, and chili-garlic paste for taste and probiotic contents.[2][3]
