Description & Use

Kokam is the dried, soft, outer skin of an acidic tasting fruit that is harvested from a tropical evergreen tree. As salt is rubbed on the skins when they are drying, you may see some salt crystals on some pieces. Kokam adds acidity to curries in much the same manner as Tamarind. Add 3 to 4 pieces of Kokam to a curry during cooking. The pleasant fruity flavour and agreeable acidic bite are particularly characteristic of South Indian dishes, where it is usually referred to as Fish Tamarind.

Produce of India packed in Australia.
