Sol Kadhi or Kokum Curry

Sol Kadhi!

Or I would say soulmate for summer. It just doesn't refresh your senses, but also your soul. A MUST TRY!

This beautiful pink color drink, comes from Kokan region of  India. Usually it had with rice or drink as a digestion drink after a satisfying meal. But I like to enjoy it on hot summer days to smooth my senses ;) It's made with Kokum & coconut milk. And it's vegan too :) 

Now let's get started
