Product Description
Malabar Tamarind (Kudampuli / Kodampuli) – Tangy Spice of Kerala Cuisine?
Fresh Roots Naturals brings you authentic Kudampuli, sourced from the monsoon-rich Western Ghats of Kerala. Known for its sharp, tangy, and smoky sourness, Kudampuli is the signature souring agent behind Kerala’s iconic fish curries and coastal stews.
Unlike regular tamarind, Kudampuli delivers a bold, smoky tang that defines true Kerala flavours. Each fruit is naturally ripened, hand-picked, sliced, sun-dried, and lightly smoked for depth of colour and aroma.
Available in multiple pack sizes for your custom spice box.
