Where do I start !
My favorite is DADUS on Upper Tooting Rd, about half way between Tooting Bec & Braodway Tube, on the right as you walk from Bec to Broadway.. They should be in the phone book. Great for all the ingredients you could hope for.. And bulk quantities if you're feeling hungry! On the way, check out the many sweet shops - Pooja in particular are friendly and their Ras Malai is awesome. There are loads of fresh produce shops all along there too. The naan kebab rolls from Katarahis.. mmmm. Ask for extra chilli sauce ! |

Kokum
Garcinia indica Fam Guttiferae The kokum is native to the western coastal regions of southern India and is rarely seen beyond this area. Even in India it is used only in the regional cuisines of Gujarat Maharashrta and several southern states where large glasses of kokum sherbet are downed during parched summer months. In this region the sweltering heat demands refrigerant (cooling) ingredients in food and drink. Kokum is well known to counteract the heat. Spice Description Kokum is dark purple to black, sticky and with curled edges. The fruit is often halved and dried, so that the dried seeds are visible in their chambers like a citrus fruit. It is usually available as a dried rind, resembling a thick plum skin. When added to food it imparts a pink to purple colour and sweet/sour taste. Bouquet: a slightly sweet and sour aroma. Flavour: a refreshing sour taste, slightly astringent Hotness Scale: 1 Preparation and Storage Similar to tamarind, kokum skins are usually available as dried rind or fruit, and infused in hot water. The deeper the colour the better the kokum. It will keep in an airtight jar for about a year. Culinary Uses Kokum has the same souring qualities as tamarind, especially enhancing coconut-based curries or vegetable dishes like potatoes, okra or lentils. Kokum is especially used with fish curries, three or four skins being enough to season an average dish. It is also included in chutneys and pickles. The skins are not usually chopped but are added whole to the dish. Seasoning should be checked as they are quite salty. Beware of biting on a stone as a few are often left in the skins. Attributed Medicinal Properties As mentioned in the introduction, kokum’s refrigerant properties are well known. It is useful as an infusion, or by direct application, in skin ailments such as rashes caused by allergies. Kokum butter is an emollient helpful in the treatment of burns, scalds and chaffed skin. The fruits are steeped in sugar syrup to make amrutkokum which is drunk to relieve sunstroke. Plant Description and Cultivation Kokum is a tropical evergreen tree, related to the mangosteens. A slender tree with sloping branches, it reaches heights of 15m (50 ft). The thin bark is lined and the leaves oblong. The dark purple fruit is round, about 4 cm (1 1/2 in) in diameter with 5 - 8 seeds. The fruits are picked when ripe, the rind is then removed and soaked in the juice of the pulp and then sun-dried. The kokum is difficult to cultivate, usually growing as solitary trees in a tropical forest environment. Other Names black kokum, cocum, kokam, kokum butter tree, mangosteen oil tree French: cocum German: Kokam Italian: cocum Spanish: cocum Indian: kokam, kokum Toovar dal is a kind of dal - the packet with "toovar Dal" written it ! |
