Kerala Masala Kappa Recipe or Kappa Masala with step by step pictures. Tapioca cooked and tossed in a chilli garlic paste which is super delicious and can be served with rice and fish curry.
Kerala Kappa Masala Recipe
I love tapioca, I love the flavour and the richness of it. We often just season the tapioca with spices and have it with a chilli chutney. I also add it to samosas and have it. But this one makes it even more tasty and takes it to the next level. The crushed garlic and chillies add a new dimension to this. So try it and let me know how it turns out.
