Thibbatu mallum is another popular way to cook Turkey berries or sundakkai or Thibbatu as we called in Sri Lanka. This is a very easy Sri Lankan recipe which takes few minutes only to cook a delicious side dish. However you need to know how to clean thibbatu before you prepare this mallung.

Earlier I shared Thibbatu stir fry recipe which is another easy way to add this edible fruit for your meal.

Here is an interesting experience with these Turkey Berries. Do you know that people in Myanmar eat this raw? Recently one of my Myanmar colleague gave me this fruit saying they eat it raw. I tried, but it is bitter and I couldn’t continue eating. However it is interesting to know and experience different food culture.

Here is the Sri Lankan Recipe for cooking Thibbatu mallum!

Mix well.

Adjust salt as per taste.  

Cook for another few minutes until all are well mixed.
