Thekera Tenga or Bor Thekera is a sour fruit that is dried and used commonly as a souring agent in Assamese dishes, especially fish-based curries. This fruit is known as Garcinia in English and is a wild fruit that grows along the foothills of the Himalayan region. It makes for a great tangy and fresh summer pickle to be enjoyed with any meal!
Garcinia is very rich in antioxidants and is particularly rich in hydroxycitric acid (HCA) an agent known for its weight-reducing properties which are present in the rind of the fruit.
