Garlic and curry leaves are popular for its health benefits for lowering cholesterol. Gamboge or goraka is another ingredients that is used in most weight loss plans. Luckily, in Sri Lankan cuisines, these ingredients are used for most of the cooking. A dish like Fish Ambul Thiyal is mostly cooked with Goraka (Gamboge) while Garlic Kalu pol is one of the best ways to consume more garlic.
