About this Recipe
I made a garlic spicy chutney to go along with this..I added some coconut oil which made the chutney less spicy and so flavourful. Amma make this chutney by grinding shallots, garlic and dry red chilli along with salt. You could try it that way too.
There is another one dish which goes perfectly with this tapioca. It is fish curry. The fish curry which you make for this is not the one which you add coconut or something like that, It is made little tangy by adding tamarind and curry leaves. I will surely post it some day.

Hey aarthi, when i started seeing your blog i had noted that you were a tamilian. when I saw today's recipe, i suddenly had a doubt. cause this is very typical of kerala, especially when you mentioned the combo with fish curry. then i again checked your about page. you are from nagercoil. hence the recipes are very similar to what we make in trivandrum 🙂 I love kappa in the form. we add a little coconut also to this.
Cynthia
I love cassava cooked this way. In the Caribbean we have a version and call it "boil and fry" 🙂
