Sundaikaai Podi/Turkey Berry Rice mix powder

May 26, 2017 · Modified: Mar 30, 2021 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

Sharing is caring!

Rice mix podi's and thogayals(chutney's) are indigenous part of south-indian kitchen. Rice mix podi's(powder's are life-savers in many house-holds. Bored to cook, wife gone for vacation, no mood to cook for one, these podi's come for our rescue. I have quite a list of podi's in my kitchen and i m never bored of trying a new one. Somewhere in the net, i came across dried neem flower podi, that gave me the idea for sundaikaai/turkey berry powder. 

I had salted turkey berry and so i haven't added any salt to the final podi. If you are using unsalted berry, then add salt accordingly. Turkey berries are naturally bitter, so the final powder also has some bitterness, but if you love the taste of these berries, you will love the podi too. 

Ingredients
¼ cup urad dal
3 tablespoon chana dal
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
1 cup dried turkey berry (salted ones)*
¾ cup dried coconut powder
10-12 red chilies
*If the berries are not salted,please add salt to the condiment 

Method

  • Heat a wide pan, dry roast each ingredient except salt(if adding) separately. All the ingredients must be golden brown in color. Keep the flame simmer and roast. 
  • After roasting, let the ingredients cool completely. Take the roasted ingredients in a mixer jar and grind it to a coarse powder. 
To make mixed rice 
Ingredients
1 cup of cooked rice
2 tablespoon of sundaikaai podi/Turkey berry powder
1 tablespoon oil
¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
¼ teaspoon each urad dal and chana dal
1 red chili
Method
  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in a tadka pan, spluter mustard seeds, add chana dal and urad dal and red chili.
  • Pour the sizzling tadka over a 1 cup of steaming hot rice, mix 2 tablespoon of powder to it and mix well. Serve hot with some crisps by side.

    Podis are never a part of our cooking, so it is interesting to try and make some for knowing the experience, especially since your intro really intrigued the lazybone in me... 😉 Lovely clicks...

    Priya is this the same berry that is deep fried and eaten with rice and neem flower? This podi sounds yum.
