Recipes Using Garcinia Cambogia

By Holly Schoch , last updated March 6, 2012

Recipes that call for Garcinia Cambogia, also known as kudampuli, may be the closest an individual can get to creating a magic diet pill that works naturally with the body to help diminish appetite and coerce the body into using carbohydrates for energy rather than storing them as fat for later use. It is also known to lower cholesterol and settle upset stomachs. While Garcinia Cambogia is a relatively unknown tropical fruit to most people, the amazing properties found in the rind are commonly used in popular cuisines like Thai and Indian.

Kudampuli Thenga Paal Meen Curry

Kudampuli Thenga Paal Meen Curry, which is a Central Kerala fish curry, is a delicious dish that calls for Garcinia Cambogia. Garcinia Cambogia has a distinct sour taste that compliments the spiciness of the chilies used in this recipe. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients: fish fillets, onion, tomato, 3 green chilies, 2 large garlic gloves, 1 piece of ginger, 1 tsp. turmeric powder, 1 tsp. pepper powder, 2 tsp. chili powder, 2 tsp. coriander powder, 2 cups coconut milk, 1 cup water, 4 pieces of kudampuli, curry leaves, salt, 1 tsp. mustard seeds, 1/2 uluva, and 2 tbsp. coconut oil. To begin, heat the coconut oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the mustard seeds and allow them to sputter. Add chopped onions and garlic and saut� until they have become transparent. Once they have finished cooking, saut� the ginger. Once the ingredients begin to smell, add in the powders and salt. Stir for just a few seconds before adding the chopped tomato, kudampuli, one cup of water, and one cup of coconut milk. It should be cooked until the tomato becomes tender. Then, add the fish fillets and the additional cup of coconut milk. When the oil begins to gather at the top, place slit green chilies and curry leaves on top before covering with a lid and removing from the burner. This dish is particularly delicious the following day.
