Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • Tapioca (Kappa) - 1/2 kg
  • Salt - to taste
  • Grated coconut - 1/4 cup (optional)
  • Coconut oil - 1 tbsp
  • Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Urad dal - 1 tsp
  • Dry red chilies - 2-3
  • Curry Leaves - 1 sprig

Instruction

  • Peel the skin of the tapioca and then wash it thoroughly.
  • Cut it into big pieces. This peeling and cutting requires some muscle power. You can also use frozen, peeled and cut tapioca. Remove the middle vein while cutting.
  • Take these tapioca pieces in a vessel and pour enough water so that all the pieces are submerged completely.
  • Add some salt and bring it to a boil. If you prefer, add a pinch of turmeric to this.
  • Cook for about 10 minutes or until all the pieces are cooked through and soft. Poke with a knife to check if the pieces are soft.
  • Drain the excess water. Your plain boiled tapioca is ready to be served.
