Solkadhi is a type of drink, an appetizer originating from the Indian subcontinent, usually eaten with rice or sometimes drunk after or along with the meal. Popular in the Konkan regions, especially Goa, Mangalore 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 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.
