- Soak the kokum in about 3/4th cup water adding the heeng and salt. Keep aside for 3 - 4 hours..Grind the grated coconut, garlic and chillies together with little water in a blender or mixer. When it grinds to a thick paste like texture, squeeze the 'milk' out of the paste and keep aside.
- Add another 3/4th cup of water to the dry remains and run the mixer again for a minute or so. Again extract the milk - adding to the original extract.Repeat this process two to three times till basically all the 'milk' gets extracted from the coconut NOTE :This process can be repeated a couple of times, but bear in mind that the milk gets thinner with every consecutive extraction.
- Discard the kokum from the water, add the coconut milk mixture into the kokum water, mix well to get a creamy pink coloured solkadhi.Taste it and adjust seasoning as required.Keep aside for an hour or more .NOTE: It is important to let the Solkadhi rest for at least an hour before you consume it.Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve chilled.
