If you have ever tasted the traditional Kerala made fish curry, I’m sure you must surely
have come across this basic ingredient used in Kerala fish curry – Kudampuli. Usually
known as Malabar Tamarind, Garcinia Gummigutta, and Brindleberry in English, this
Ayurvedic spice is an essential ingredient of Kerala fish curry. Whether it be Travancore
fish curry, Malabar fish curry or Alleppey fish, only the taste will vary; this basic
ingredient Kudampuli will always be part and parcel of every variety of Kerala fish
curries prepared in Kerala state irrespective of whether they are prepared at a star hotel
or in a household.
However Kudampuli is not added to fish curries just because they bring about an
additional flavor and taste to the curry; this Ayurvedic spice comes with a lot of
additional health benefits as well. Kudampuli helps a lot in reducing cholesterol and
blood sugar levels. It also detoxifies the body, boosts digestive process, prevents
stomach ulcers, helps in weight loss and improves cardiovascular health. No wonder
doctors always recommend fish curry with Kudampuli as a part of diet for heart and
cholesterol patients.
