Aazol's Kokum Agal is the pure unadulterated extract of the Kokum fruit and adds a tangy touch to everything from curries and dals to drinks and salads. Its liquid consistency, balanced flavours and numerous health benefits (it is naturally cooling, immunity boosting and aids digestion) make it the ideal souring agent and a superior alternative to tamarind and lime.

Provenance

The evergreen Kokum or Garcinia Indica tree that’s native to the Western Ghats, Konkan and Goa bears a fruit with multiple uses. Kokum Agal, the pure unsweetened juice extracted from it, is added to rassa (curry) and saar (soup), while the rind is sundried and used as tempering in vegetables and for a touch of tanginess to amti (dal). The medicinal powerhouse is packed with vitamins A, B3, C, iron, magnesium and potassium, and makes the perfect all-season hydrating sherbet. Konkan's favourite natural digestive drink, Sol Kadhi, is incomplete without it.
