ReplyDelete"Chook-amilo" is not a citrus fruit, but a product after boiling down the "kathe-jyamir" or "Nibuwa" juice till it turns dark brown. I found your blog quite by an accident as I was trying to find about "jhamsi", as kind of citrus fruit not knowing if it was different or one among many described by u. Think "jhamsi" is a Newari word for aamilo, but I am not sure.
ReplyDeleteHappen to know u as Jyoti Pande!
Thank you for commenting!
DeleteAmazing work! Growing up in small town of Hatiya, Baglung district, we used to pick fruit from root of a tree locals call Khannim, sometimes digging from earth, washing it with water and enjoying the fruit. I cannot find any information about the fruit anywhere. I did a google image search with no results. Do you happen to know about the fruit? I can send a picture for you to add your list. There is another fruit called bedula which grown in tree branches, green at first, then turns pink and black when ripe. I can ask someone to get a picture of the fruit and send it to you so that you can add it to your list.
