Hi guys!!!
Savoury popsicles anyone?!
Don’t be fooled by the beautiful pinkish hue of the popsicles here, thinking it’s a strawberry flavoured. Nope!!
My love for savoury food over sweet is undeniable, so much so that I try to create savoury frozen desserts. Just like this Masala Chaas popsicles that I created last year. It is flavourful and healthy, quick and easy, toddler/kid friendly popsicle recipes.
And this time I have turned our beloved Sol Kadhi or kokum curry into this lovely sol kadhi popsicle.
What is Sol kadhi you ask?
Solkadi is a popular drink from the state of Maharashtra and Goa. It is served as a digestive drink or as a cooler. It is made with coconut milk and kokum.
Kokum or Garcinia indica, is a plant in the mangosteen family, is a fruit-bearing tree that has culinary uses. The outer cover of fruit is dried in the sun to get aamsul or kokam. It is used as a souring agent in Maharashtrian cuisine, Goan cuisine, and in some parts of Karnataka. Kokum is used as a souring agent.
SolKadhi Popsicle (Solkadi) is a fancy way of enjoying this digestive drink after a meal. They are so pleasing to the palate and tastes so delightful.
Here are few forzen treats that you can try.
