Meanwhile in a separate pan add the coconut oil, roast the fenugreek seeds and the red chillies.
Once the red chillies are crisp, add the raw rice and roast it for a minute, remove from heat and add to the grated coconut.
Grind this into a fine paste and set aside
Add the paste to the cooking turkey berries and simmer for 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In another pan heat, the oil add the mustard seeds. Once they splutter add the curry leaves and roast it.
