Sundakai Vathal (Salted) consists of turkey berries that have been salted and dried under the sun to preserve their intense bitter flavor and medicinal qualities. A staple in South Indian cuisine, Sundakai Vathal is often fried or added to tangy gravies like kuzhambu, bringing a distinctive bitterness that balances out the richness of the dish. Turkey berries are also known for their health benefits, including digestive aid and blood sugar regulation, making Sundakai Vathal a popular choice for both its taste and medicinal properties in traditional cooking.
