Sundakkai Curry, a delicious curry prepared with Turkery Berry. I had seen this berry at hosur farmer's market often and thought that they are used for making vathals, so i never bought this. But few months back, while browsing , i saw this recipe from solai's kitchen and  also amazed by knowing the health benefits of this berry and want to try this.
So last week ,when we went to farmer's market, i searched for fresh sundakkai and luckily it was available on that and without a second thought bought it. I thought that this dish would have slight bitterness. But trust me, it doesn't even have slight bit of bitterness.It goes well with rice and sambar/Karakulambu. Now, let see the procedure.
