Pachai Sundakkai Thogayal || Diabetic friendly turkey berry thuvayal || Tamil Nadu popular Sundakkai Thogayal

 Pachai Sundakkai thogayal/ thuvayal with step by step pics and tips. It is popular thogayal recipe from Tamil Nadu cuisine. Sundakkai means turkey berries in English, usthikaya in Telugu and kudanekayi in Kannada. Thogayal or thuvayal is tasty appetizer which looks like chutney. We always confuse the difference between thogayal /thuvayal and chutney , thogayal / thuvayal  and chutney is different in taste and texture.

Difference between Thogayal / Thuvayal & chutney

*Thogayal is thick in one consistency, we can have it with plain rice or with curd rice. We use less water or no water while grinding. Ingredients like urad dal, red chillies, mustard and chillies are fried before grinding. Giving tempering to thogayal is optional. We call it as roti pachadi in Telugu. 

*Chutney is thin or running consistency, and mostly we have it with breakfast like idli, dosa or upma. We use water while grinding chutney. 

  Sundakkai taste bitter, but it has many health benefits, it controls diabetes, prevents gas trouble, strengthen bones and many more. I have turkey berry plant in my garden, I prepared this chutney few times, hubby loved it a lot. I experimented it in different ways, but loved this thogayal a lot. Fresh turkey taste bitter, thogayal which i am sharing is not much bitter in taste. Have this thogayal with hot steamed rice and dollop of ghee or with gingelly oil, surely you will love to have it again and again.

Tips

** By adding fresh coconut and jaggery will reduce bitter taste. If you want thogayal bitter skip adding both.

** Chutney color depends on the variety of red chilli we are using. For video i used Kashmiri red chilli so thogayal color was red.



** crush turkey berry before frying, as it changes color quickly.

** You can also add onions, garlic by frying.

** Add less water to get thick consistency.
