Trivandrum style kappa/tapioca



Cook tapioca in the same way I mentioned in the posting below. Take it off the stove and drain the water. After draining the water, mash it well with a wooden spatula. Doesn’t have to be pasty.

In a small mixie jar, take 2 table spoons of coconut, 1/4 tea spoon of cumin seeds, a small piece of onion and one or two green chilies. Add enough turmeric powder to give the yellow color. Grind it well, by adding little water. Not too much. It also doesn’t have to be paste like . Add this to the mashed tapioca and mix well. Take it back to the stove on medium heat and keep stirring till the tapioca is well coated. Reduce heat and add half a table spoon of coconut oil.

Fish curry and this kappa go along excellent. In this picture I didn’t have the red fish curry only had shrimp coconut curry.
