Sundaikkai thokku is made from small, round turkey berries that are indigenous to South India and have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. These green berries have a slightly bitter and sour taste that transforms beautifully when cooked with spices like cumin, mustard, and chili powder. The berries are crushed and slow-cooked to release their therapeutic compounds. This unique pickle has a complex flavor profile and is valued for its medicinal properties in traditional Indian cuisine.
