If you've been to Sri Lanka and love seafood, you probably haven't missed the Ambulthiyal recipe, which translates to sour-fish. Now, sour-fish doesn't sound very appealing, but it's a recipe you must experience to really appreciate it.
The spice blend used for the Ambulthiyal recipe originates from the southern coastal regions of Sri Lanka. The spice blend may have minor changes in its compositions based on different areas and family recipes. However, an Ambulthiyal recipe's key component is Goraka, also known widely as Garcinia cambogia or Gummi-gutta with other spices & herbs such as black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, curry leaves, pandan leaves, garlic & salt. The Garcinia cambogia in the Ambulthiyal recipe traditionally preserves the fish for weeks and can be stored at room temperature without any refrigeration. The spice properties of the Ambulthiyal recipe also eliminates any fishy odour when cooking and fills the space with a mouthwatering delicious aroma. Popularly paired with Kiribath (Milk-rice), bread and steamed rice. You've got to try it to love it!
