Bamboo Shoot Achar
Sour, funky, very Nepali.
Tama is fermented bamboo shoot, and it's one of those flavors people either grew up on or need a minute to understand. Sharp, sour, a little funky in the good way. We ferment it the slow way, then finish it with mustard oil, chili, and roasted soybean for crunch.

The Story Behind It
If you've had aloo-tama-bodi, this is the tama end of that equation, just built to eat straight from the jar.

Took some getting used to
First jar I wasn't sure. Second jar I understood. Very distinct flavor, glad I gave it a real chance.

Real tama, not the watered down kind
Sour and sharp the way it should be. Reminds me of home cooking, not restaurant versions.
