KOKUM is a fruit, antioxidants and having lot of medical benefits. This is good for people, who suffer from constipation, heatstroke, and other pains. Also in summer its drink is good to beat the heat. Since it is sour in taste, it is used in curries in Maharashtra, Kerala, Goa etc. My mom used to dry its peels and used it for making Saaru. Recently when I attended my niece's marriage, they served Kokum buttermilk to the guests. I loved it instantly and was waiting to get this Kokum Sol. My next preparation will be KOKUM BUTTERMILK. My sister was kind enough to buy this for me from Mangalore. Today I prepared Kokum sherbet. Here is the recipe.
THE DANCE OF THE MUSTARD, THE AROMA OF THE COCONUT OIL WAFTING IN THE SLIGHTLY SMOKY KITCHEN, THE TANG OF THE TAMARIND, THE SUGAR, THE SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE.... THE MEMORIES OF MOM'S KITCHEN WHERE I USED TO HANG AROUND TO QUENCH MY HUNGER; THE HOPE WAS TO GET THE FIRST TASTE OF ANYTHING MOM'S DISHES OUT BEFORE MY BROS OR SIS'. OH I MISS THOSE DAYS, BUT NOW I WANT TO RECREATE THAT MAGIC- TO REMIND MYSELF, TO LET THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT IT.
