In the northwestern province of <a href="/wiki/Aceh" title="Aceh">Aceh</a>, it is preserved by salting and sun-drying to make <i>asam sunti,</i> a kitchen seasoning to make a variety of <a href="/wiki/Acehnese_people" title="Acehnese people">Acehnese</a> dishes. It is a key ingredient in many Indonesian dishes such as <i><a href="/wiki/Sambal" title="Sambal">sambal</a> belimbing wuluh</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-xu_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-xu-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Philippines" title="Philippines">Philippines</a>, where it is commonly called <i>kamias</i> and <i>ibâ</i>, it is commonly found in backyards. The fruits are eaten either raw or dipped in rock salt. It can be either curried or added as a souring agent for common Filipino dishes such as <i><a href="/wiki/Sinigang" title="Sinigang">sinigang</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Pinangat_na_isda" title="Pinangat na isda">pinangat</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Paksiw" title="Paksiw">paksiw</a></i>. It can be sun-dried for preservation and used as a spice. It is also used to make a salad mixed with tomatoes, and chopped onions, with soy sauce as dressing. </p><p>The uncooked bilimbi is prepared as <a href="/wiki/Relish" title="Relish">relish</a> and served with <a href="/wiki/Rice" title="Rice">rice</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bean" title="Bean">beans</a> in <a href="/wiki/Costa_Rica" title="Costa Rica">Costa Rica</a>. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Far_East" title="Far East">Far East</a>, where the tree originated, it is sometimes added to <a href="/wiki/Curry" title="Curry">curry</a>. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia">Malaysia</a> and the Philippines, bilimbi or kamias is made into a rather sweet and sour <a href="/wiki/Jam" class="mw-redirect" title="Jam">jam</a>, with a flavor profile similar to prunes or plums. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Kerala" title="Kerala">Kerala</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kanara" title="Kanara">Coastal Karnataka</a>, <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a>, it is used for making pickles and fish curry, especially with sardines, while around <a href="/wiki/Karnataka" title="Karnataka">Karnataka</a>, <a href="/wiki/Maharashtra" title="Maharashtra">Maharashtra</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Goa" title="Goa">Goa</a> the fruit is commonly eaten raw with salt and spice. In Guyana and <a href="/wiki/Mauritius" title="Mauritius">Mauritius</a>, it is made into achars/pickles. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Maldives" title="Maldives">Maldives</a> where it is known as <i>bilimagu</i>, it is pickled with aromatic spices and eaten with rice and local Garudhiya (fish soup). It is also used in various Maldivian local dishes such as Boakibaa and Mashuni as a souring agent. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Seychelles" title="Seychelles">Seychelles</a>, it is often used as an ingredient to give a tangy flavor to many Seychellois creole dishes, especially fish dishes. It is often used in grilled fish and also (almost always) in a <a href="/wiki/Shark_meat" title="Shark meat">shark meat</a> dish, called <i>satini reken</i>. It is also cooked down with onion, tomato, and chili peppers to make a sauce. Sometimes they are cured with salt to be used when they are out of season. </p><p>Bilimbi juice (with a <a href="/wiki/PH" title="PH">pH</a> of about 4.47) is made into a cooling <a href="/wiki/Beverage" class="mw-redirect" title="Beverage">beverage</a>.
