What is "sinki"

Sinki may refer to:

• Sinki, Gmina Zakrzewo, a village in North-central Poland.
• Sinki, Gmina Bądkowo, a village in North-central Poland.
• Sinki (food), a Nepalese dish.

Sinki is a preserved vegetable, similar to gundruk. Gundruk is prepared from leafy vegetables but sinki is prepared from radish tap roots. To make this generations-old indigenous dish, aged radish slivers are pressed into a hole lined with bamboo and straw, then coffined by a cover of vegetation, rocks, wood and, finally, mud. After a month of bacterial curing, the resulting preserved vegetable is dried in the sun and stored to last a few years or more.
