A delicious Goan Kokum Kadhi without Coconut Milk is the yummiest. Futi is used it means no milk is used so this sol kadhi is made sans coconut. How will like my Kadi? In a glass as it has a tangy, spicy and garlicky undertone which is delicious. Do you want to try a delicious drink that you have heard of but never tried? Goa is not all about booze we have some amazingly non-alcoholic drinks too that are part of our food habits. Read on for this easy way to vary your food with your pantry ingredients.

Phuti Kadhi like I have already said spicy, tangy and the salt and sugar help you especially in the hot humid Goan climate we live in. Kokum Kadhi cools your body and refreshes you immediately. Futi Kadi is not only a digestive, an antacid and a cooling drink but it also serves as curry. The normal way in which a Goan ends his meal is with either Sol Kadhi or Futi Kadhi.
To make this Futi Kadhi you need Binna Sola/died kokum peels. Sour and beautifully coloured Binna or fresh Kokum is a seasonal fruit available in the summer. Sola or Binna Sol are souring agents used in Goan/Konkan cuisine.
The fresh Binna fruit is used to make Binna Sherbet, agal a strong concentrate of the Binna there may be some sugar added to it as a preservative and sola the dried fruits. The seeds from the fruit are used to make what is called binnel, locally are full of fat. My mother called this solmaana and used it to heal her chapped heels.
Do you know that in Ayurveda Sola or Kokum with garlic and a sprig of coriander is heart friendly food. This was recommended to us by a close friend!
Ingredients for Phuti Kadi:
Futi Kadi is no fixed recipe you ask a Goan homemaker she will rattle off the ingredients she uses. The trick is to achieve the balance you like however let us check what you will need.
How do you serve Futi Kadhi?
This is one delicious drink that I love and we make it often. Generally we let it steep and it’s on the dining table anyone can just pour a glass and have it. You can serve it as a drink or even with steamed rice and a spicy curry. Try it.

I have tasted sol kadhi with coconut and love it. Your futi kaki recipe is definitely interesting and so different. I’ve got some kokum powder, do you think that will work?
ArchanaPotdar says
It should work however kokum powder is new to me. Never heard about it.
