#ramcooks #burpfulkitchen #turkeyberry #dhal #sabzi #pachadi

I have never cooked this Turkey berry/ Sundakai. Have tasted few times when Mom made.

Mom sent lot of these fresh from garden in our visit to native. Was hesitant to do something out of it as I m lazy to cut all into small pieces 😉

Got up super early today (6:30 only 😂), so decided to give this a try. And loving the output 😋😋😋

Recipe as follows:

Turkey berry : 1/2cup (wash and cut into two halves and soak in water)

Onion : 1 finely chopped

Tomato : 1 finely chopped

Thoor dhal : 1/4 cup, pressure cook for two whisles ( not fully cooked)

Sambar powder : 1.5 tsp

Turmeric powder : 1/4tsp

Salt : as per taste

Mustard, jeera,oil  and Curry leaves to temper.

In a pan add oil, once hot temper with mustard, jeera and Curry leaves. Add onion and saute till translucent. Add the tomatoes and saute till mushy. Strain out water from Turkey berry and add it to the pan. Saute well for 6-7 mins. It's has to be sauted really well otherwise it will taste bitter. Add the turmeric powder, sambar powder and salt and mix briefly. Add one cup water. You can cook this with lid closed for 6-7 mins. I added to the pressure cooker and cooked for one whistle. Now add the cooked thoor dhal and mix all and let it cook for couple of mins until boil. Add chopped corriander and serve with rice/chapati.

I had with the chapathi for breakfast now 😋😋😋
