Chuk Amilo (Lemon Citrus)

Nepali Amilo Chuk is a thick, brown molasses-like concentrate derived from the juice of citrus fruits, primarily the Nibuwa (a variety of Nepali lemon). The name itself reflects its nature: "Amilo" means sour, and "Chuk" refers to the concentrate. A staple in Nepali kitchens, it is made by slowly boiling the lemon juice until the excess water evaporates, leaving behind a rich, intensely sour liquid.
