Cranberry Sol Kadhi

When we were in Pune I never needed to make sol kadhi at home. We could get it easily in restaurants. Even if I ever needed to make it at home i had kokum aagal (concentrated kokum/amasul juice) handy for the recipe. I used to do kokum sar as well with that aagal, which is my favorite. Here i did not find kokum agal or kokum juice in any Indian grocery store. We get kokum here, so we can make traditional sol kadhi by soaking them and extracting juice from it. Though it was not the kind of food we miss here, but still it has it’s own place in our choice of food. Long story short, we brought cranberry juice on our last trip of grocery shopping and we found it tastes somewhat like kokum aagal. So my hubby suggested me (he is the one behind my recipes) to give it a try making solkadhi with this juice. I made it and it was totally a hit. It tastes just like a solkadhi. Here is the recipe.



Ingredients

1 Cup coconut milk
1 Cup concentrated cranberry juice (increase quantity according to taste)
2-3 Cloves garlic crushed and finely chopped
1 Green chilly finely chopped
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander

Recipe

1. Mix coconut milk and cranberry juice, keep it aside.

2. In small bowl crush together already chopped garlic and chilly and add it to the above mixture. Or make a paste of garlic and chilly and add to the mixture.

3. Add salt as per taste and chopped coriander to it. Serve chilled topped with little fresh coriander leaves.
