The primary ingredient, kokum, is well-known in Ayurveda for its ability to improve digestion, relieve acidity, and prevent bloating and flatulence.
Futi Kadi is a traditional summer drink in Goa because of its excellent cooling properties, which help to reduce body heat and prevent heatstroke.
Kokum contains Garcinol, a powerful antioxidant that helps combat free-radical damage and possesses anti-inflammatory properties.
With its base of coconut milk and water, Futi Kadi is a flavorful way to stay hydrated, replenishing fluids and essential electrolytes.
Futi Kadi is a traditional Goan beverage or side dish, similar to Sol Kadi, but made instantly without grinding coconut. It's a no-cook recipe featuring a tangy kokum base, thin coconut milk, and a simple tempering of spices.
Yes, Futi Kadi is considered healthy. Kokum is renowned for its digestive and cooling properties, helping to combat acidity. Coconut milk provides healthy fats, and the spices used in tempering have their own benefits. It is also naturally vegan and gluten-free.
One serving of Futi Kadi (approximately 1 cup or 225g) contains around 105-120 calories, primarily from the coconut milk and coconut oil used in the tempering.
Absolutely. Canned coconut milk works perfectly well. Be sure to use the 'light' or 'thin' variety. If you only have regular full-fat coconut milk, you can dilute it with a little water to achieve the desired consistency.
Futi Kadi can curdle if it is heated or boiled after the coconut milk has been added. It is a no-cook recipe, and the only heat introduced is from the final tempering. Also, using extremely sour kokum with very thick coconut milk can sometimes cause separation.
Futi Kadi is best consumed fresh on the day it is made. However, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavors may intensify as it sits. Stir well before serving.
