Turkey berry known as sundakkai in Tamil is rich in medicinal value. We have a plant in our home garden in India. I was missing this after coming to US. Last week I was lucky enough to spot the dried berries in Indian grocery. Sundakkai aids in digestion and good for health. The bitter taste of this vathal tempted me to make my mom's vatha kuzhambu. It can be taken as a side dish to Rice with Appalam. It also goes well with Idli and Dosa. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing my mom's version of South Indian tangy Sundakkai Vatha Kuzhambu.
