Beetroot Sol Kadhi (Cold Beetroot Soup)

Solkadhi is a famous appetizer in Konkan, Maharashtra. Usually serves with Fish Thali at most of the restaurants. Traditionally made from coconut milk, kokum, ginger. Very soothing drink after a heavy meal. It helps digestion and reduces heartburn.

I decided to give a twist to this traditional recipe. I always fascinated by solkadhi’s pink colour so don’t want to lose it, hence tried it with beetroot pulp. Beetroot tastes bland and sweet so ginger garlic is the must in this soup to add a punch.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Beetroot Pulp (Boiled and Smashed Beetroot)
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk (Can Be Replace by Thick Butter Milk)
  • 1 Tsp Crushed/ Grated Ginger
  • 1-2 Crushed Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 Tsp Roasted Cumin Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Fresh Black Pepper Powder
  • Salt to Taste
  • Water to adjust consistency

Preparation

Prep: 45 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes

  1. In a blender add coconut milk, beetroot pulp, ginger, garlic and mix for half a minute.
  2. Once all these ingredients are mixed well, add cumin powder, black pepper powder and salt.
  3. Add water to adjust to a consistency like soup. Remember do not boil it, we have to serve it cold.
  4. If you like to serve chilled, then add a few ice cubes while serving.

I am a passionate chef! A year back, I took an exit from the IT industry to drive my passion for making healthy salads and soups. It led to me starting my venture Greeny Tales, serving healthy wholesome salads and meals at your doorstep. I always explore new recipes, search for healthier versions. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't but the passion never dies and that keeps me going. The lockdown was a crucial period for all and I was not an exception.

So many new recipes were created, everyone tried their hands on new dishes. To keep my passion alive, I experimented with so many recipes, got creative with food and created my own versions of them!
