Malabar Tamarind (Kudampuli / Kodampuli)

Malabar Tamarind (Kudampuli / Kodampuli) | Tangy Spice of Kerala Cuisine

Sharp, Tangy & Smoky — The Heart of Kerala’s Coastal Flavours

From the lush, monsoon-fed Western Ghats of Kerala, Fresh Roots Naturals brings you the authentic souring agent of coastal cuisine — Kudampuli, also known as Malabar Tamarind, Fish Puli, and Garcinia Cambogia.

This isn’t the sweet-sour tamarind (Imli) used across India — Kudampuli offers a sharper, tangy & slightly smoky flavour that creates the iconic taste of Kerala’s favourite seafood dishes.

Each fruit is naturally ripened, hand-picked, sliced, and traditionally sun-dried with a finishing smoke — preserving its deep dark color, intense sourness, and aroma.
