9.Salt-----to taste

10.Jaggery/sugar---pinch

METHOD:

Sundakai is known as sunberry in english and its a small round green vegetable used in gravies.

Vatral is nothing but dreid vegetable.

First we need to fry the vatral in oil and put in in water to remove the salt.

Heat oil and fry the seasonings.

Now add the sambar powder and the tamarind water and boil till the gravy becomes thick.

Since the vatral has salt in it already be cautious in adding salt to the kuzhambu.

Now add the vatral and boil for few more minute till oil floats on top.

Add jaggery/sugar and switch off the stove.

This is the traditional south indian recipe and goes well with rice and appalam.
