Among the treasures of Kerala’s spice-rich land, one ingredient stands out for its unique sourness, health benefits, and cultural importance – Kudam Puli, also known as Malabar Tamarind, Garcinia Cambogia, or Kokum (in some regions). This rare, tangy fruit is widely used in Kerala’s traditional cuisine and celebrated in Ayurveda for its digestive and medicinal properties.
At Earthly Essence India, we bring you Premium Quality Kudam Puli, handpicked from the spice gardens of Kerala’s Idukki district, naturally sun-dried, and packed to retain its authentic smoky-sour flavor and nutritional potency.
Kudam Puli (Garcinia Cambogia) is native to the Western Ghats of South India, especially Kerala and Karnataka.
In Kerala homes, it has been used for generations as a souring agent in curries, particularly in fish curries and vegetarian stews.
Known locally as “Kudampuli”, meaning “pot tamarind,” it is dried and smoked to preserve it for year-round use.
Ayurveda treasures it as a digestive aid, weight-management support, and detoxifying fruit.
