Malabar tamarind or kudam puli is a souring agent used in a number of curries in Kerala and Karnataka. 
t is said to help in weight loss and some research has found that it may improve cholesterol levels, lowering triglycerides and LDL (the "bad" cholesterol) and raising HDL (the "good" cholesterol).
The fruit of the Garcinia Cambogia is an essential ingredient in the cuisine along the western coast. It looks like a multi-lobed pumpkin and is usually green, yellow, or red. After it’s sun-dried and smoked, the blackened fruit, called kudampuli, is used to impart a tart, smoky flavour to curries. It’s popularly used compliment fish curries and dal.

Garcinia Cambogia contains a compound called hydroxycitric acid (HCA) that may inhibit an enzyme that helps your body store fat. Theoretically, the fat would instead be burned as calories and therefore is said to be good for weight loss.
Usually, to make the drink the rind is first washed and then soaked in some water for about 10 or 15 minutes. Then you can take some water in a stainless steel or clay pan and transfer the soaked Kudampuli to it. Cook this for some time, until the water comes to a boil. Allow it to cool down and filter the drink into a jar. Consuming this drink 30 minutes before each meal, may help you lose weight faster. Read more about the benefits of Malabar Tamarind here .


The fruit is known as uppage in Kannada language and it is traditionally used as a souring agent in the preparation of some curries. Many traditional recipes use the fruit's extract and rind due to the sour flavour that it lends to the food. It is similarly used in Assam as well as in Thailand, Malaysia, Burma and other Southeast Asian countries. The weight loss benefits of the fruit first came to light when in 2012, American celebrity doctor Dr. Oz promoted the extract from the fruit to achieve natural weight loss. Other purported benefits of the fruit include boosting energy, detoxification of the body and promoting cardiovascular and digestive health.
