Goan Phuti Kadi
This drink is made using dry Kokum petals / Malabar Tamarind and acts as a wonderful digestive post a heavy meal. In Goa, we usually have it with plain rice at the end of a fish curry-rice meal.
One can have it by itself too, served chilled as a refreshing appetiser. It is a wonderful summer cooler. 😀
You can also mix in some vodka to fix yourself a tangy cocktail for the weekend! Cheers! 💕
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Warm 1 cup of water, soak the Kokum petals for 30 mins.
* Step 2
Now add the rest of the water, salt, sugar, hing, ajwain, chopped green chillies & mix well. Some people like to add garlic cloves to it but our family recipe is without garlic. I like to squeeze the Kokum in and mix it with my hands for the flavours to seep in well.
* Step 3
Chill in the fridge. Serve topped with fresh coriander leaves.
If serving as a mocktail or cocktail, you can remove some of the green chillies & Kokum.
