Satkora (সাতকরা) – 4Pcs

Satkora (also spelled Satkara or Shatkora), scientifically known as Citrus macroptera, is a tangy, aromatic citrus fruit native to the Sylhet region of Bangladesh. Known locally as “সাতকরা,” this thick-skinned fruit is a signature ingredient in authentic Sylheti cuisine, prized for the sharp, sour flavor it lends to traditional dishes.

Unlike regular citrus fruits, this fruit isn’t eaten raw. Only its thick outer rind is edible; the inner pulp and seeds are discarded before cooking. The rind is typically sliced or chopped and simmered into rich curries, most famously Satkora Gorur Mangsho (Beef Curry), a beloved delicacy across Sylheti households at home and abroad. It’s equally popular in fish curries, dal, and khichuri, adding a distinctive tang that no other ingredient quite replicates. Nowadays, it’s also finding its way into modern fast food items, from tangy snacks to fusion street food, as younger generations rediscover this traditional flavor in new forms.

Each pack contains 4 fresh pieces of Satkora, carefully sourced to bring the true taste of Sylhet straight to your kitchen — whether you’re a Sylheti expat missing home flavors or simply curious to try this regional specialty for the first time. Sourced directly from local orchards around Sylhet, each piece is hand-picked at peak ripeness to preserve its natural oils and characteristic sourness.

Storage tip: Keep in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate to extend freshness. Wash thoroughly before use. Properly stored, the rind retains its flavor for several weeks, making it easy to stock up for future cooking.

Satkora holds a special place in Sylheti culture, often associated with homecoming and festive family meals. Many Sylheti families living abroad consider it an essential taste of home, and it’s frequently gifted to relatives and friends visiting from overseas. Its distinct aroma and tangy flavor cannot be replicated by lemon, tamarind, or any other souring agent commonly used in South Asian cooking, which is why it remains in high demand throughout the year, especially during Eid and other festive occasions.
