need ID two unknown Sri Lankan vegetables

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone has heard of two Sri Lankan/South Indian vegetables called 'rampe' and 'goraka'? Scientific names would be great :-) ! All I know is that the first one is a type of fragrant leaf and the other is part of some fruit or vegetable. A friend from work who hails from there was describing cashew nut curry, and he insisted you had to have these two ingredients in the actual recipe.

Thanks!

Marcelo

Goraka is known as "Garcinia Cambogia"
