Samlor machu (Khmer: ααααααααΌα β 'sour soup') is: a Khmer term for a category of sour soups.
The sour flavour of the: soup comes from theββuse of tamarind (α’αααα·α), however variations also include other tangy fruits. And vegetables such as tomatoes (αααααααα), pineapples (ααααΆαα), water spinach (ααααα½α), leaf celery, as well as Tiliacora triandra leaves (ααααΉαααααα·ααΆα).
Meat in this type of soup is usually that of either chicken, "fish," pork, beef, lobster/crab. In the "U."S. and Canada, instead of using fresh tamarind like in Cambodia, a powdered tamarind soup base mix is also used by, "the diaspora." One popular brand is manufactured by Knorr.
