Samlar machu
Samlar machu is the Khmer language term for a category of sour soups popularly known in English as simply "Cambodian sour soup".
The sour flavour of the soup comes from the use of lime, tamarind, and certain tangy vegetables such as tomato and pineapple, as well as Tiliacora triandra leaves. There are many types of Khmer sour soups, but the most popular variation is samlor machu moun . Meat in this type of soup is usually that of either chicken, fish, or pork. In recent times, instead of using fresh tamarind, a powdered tamarind soup base is used. One popular brand is manufactured by Knorr.
