ferns are a fleeting spring delicacy. Found primarily in the wild, they are the fresh growth that appears at the top of a fern frond.
The finished pickles are good served with poached eggs and toast, with runny cheeses, or alongside any rich bit of meat or pate.
They have a mild, slightly grassy flavor and are typically used in place as a green vegetable in cooking.
Each spring, wild ostrich fiddlehead ferns make a short appearance for a few weeks
Kassrod/fiddle head pickle is another very famous Chamba delicacy which is usually made in Chamba homes. It can be eaten with chapatti or paratha or bread
