Bimbla Uddamethi, or Bilimbi curry is a vegetarian Goan curry prepared by cooking sour Bimbla fruits in coconut gravy. Tempering of Urad dal and methi gives it a unique flavor.

These Bimbla or Bilimbis are well known among Goans. About a size of a human finger , sour in taste, these fruits are grown abundtanly on trees. So, even if you have one single tree in your backyard it is more then enough to make pickles , curries and many other dishes .
