Samlor machu

Samlor machu is a Khmer term for a category of sour soups.
The sour flavour of the soup comes from the use of tamarind, however variations also include other tangy fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, pineapples, water spinach, leaf celery, as well as Tiliacora triandra leaves.
Meat in this type of soup is usually that of either chicken, fish, pork, beef, lobster or 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.
