Tapioca has always been one of my favourite food item. Every time i make this dish it brings back all memories from my childhood when i had the luxury to eat out of my mom's hand.
This root known as Kappa in Southern India is also called the Tapioca / Cassava root.
It is a starch and is known as a poor man's diet in Kerala.So lets see how i made this simple dish.
1. First wash remove the brown skin and then the white thicker skin on the root, cut into irregular cubes and soak overnight
2. Next day drain the water, clean again and pressure cook [1 whistle] with very little water and salt. You may steam cook if the root is tender.
3. The ingredients needed for the tempering are mustard seeds, cut garlic, red chillies, turmeric and grated coconut.
4. Heat little coconut oil add all the ingredients except grated coconut for the tempering. Keep stirring till all mustard seeds splutter and the garlic is lightly roasted. Add the cooked tapioca root and mix well. Later turn the stove off and add the grated coconut.
Hope you enjoy this dish.
