Nepali Bamboo Shoot Pickle
Tama Ko Achaar is a beloved Nepali pickle made from tender bamboo shoots, slow-prepared in mustard oil with garlic, chili, and warming spices. Anisa's Foods makes ours the traditional way โ sun-fermented tama, hand-balanced spice, and no shortcuts โ so every jar carries the tangy, savory depth that makes this dish a staple across Nepali households.
Every jar starts with fresh bamboo shoots, fermented and softened before being cooked down in mustard oil with garlic, ginger, dried chili, and a warming blend of Nepali spices. The result is a pickle that's tangy, savory, and a little sharp โ built to cut through rich food and wake up a plain plate of rice.
Tama Ko Achaar is traditionally served alongside dal-bhat, but it works just as well spooned over fried rice, tucked into a momo dipping bowl, or eaten straight from the jar with a piece of roti. A little goes a long way โ start with a spoonful and build from there.
Keep the jar in a cool, dry place before opening. Once opened, refrigerate and always use a clean, dry spoon to keep it fresh for longer.
It has a noticeable kick from the chili, but it's more tangy and savory than intensely spicy. If you prefer a milder profile, use it sparingly alongside your meal rather than as a standalone side.
