Solkadhi is a type of drink, an appetizer originating from the Indian subcontinent, usually eaten with rice or sometimes drunk after or along with the meal. Popular in the Konkan regions, especially Goa, Mangalore and parts of coastal Maharashtra, it is made from coconut milk and dried kokum skins, whose anthocyanin pigments provide a deep purple-pink colour.
