I feel this is a good health drink and should be made subsitute for carbonated drinks.
In case any self help group wants to manufacture this drink ie Kokum sharbat I can help them by marketting and finances.

Mythreyee - Yes, we do get Kokum here in US now and it is sold under this same name.

Freshma - thanks.

Bee - Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Really appreciate it.

Manisha - Thanks. I totally understand your love for Kokum. Sol Kadhi is for Konkan just like Sambar is for South India.
The best way to store kokum is to keep it in a airtight container. It should stay good for a year.

Sanjana & Malini - I do understand that its almost impossible to make everyone happy with one’s work. There are bound to be a few who are unsatisfied. Taking your comments in a positive way and will work harder on my future articles.

Thanks.

Quality is going down? That, too, on a post about sol kadi and kokum?! This is comfort food for people from the Konkan coast. Along with footi kadi that someone else mentioned in the comments above. That bowl of sol kadi has me entranced and longing for ‘home’.

Bee, I didn’t send you any Goan kokum as I had said I would because it dried out in CO weather and seems to have lost its flavor, too.

Anjali, what is the best way to store kokum? I am over a mile high and it’s very dry up here.

My husbands family has it at the end of the meal everyday. They mix it with about 2 tblsp rice and finish the meal with that. Its supposed to aid digestion. We dont add any cumin or jaggery. Only kokum, green chilies, coconut salt and dhania. Other variations are garlic and hing.

Another drink is tivir in which we just add kokum, water, green chiles, salt, sugar, and corriander leaves. do try that its tasty and fat free. This is also taken at the end of the meals
