Tapioca is cooked in different styles in Kerala. This recipe was given to me by my cousin sister - Raji Ramalingam. And when she gave it to me in 1997, she called it 'kodungallore style'. Kodungallore is a small village in Kerala in Thrissur district and that is where her house is. This is the way her mother made tapioca when she had to serve her hungry kids coming home from school.
Very healthy. High in Carbohydrates and very easy to make.
Ingredients:
Tapioca - 1 large, skinned and cut into large chunks
Coconut - 2 cups , finely grated
Green chillies - 7, slit
Coconut oil - 3 tbsp
curry leaf - 10
Salt
Turmeric powder - 1/2tsp
Method:
Peel the tapioca and cut into bite size chunks.
Cook tapioca with the salt , turmeric powder and green chillies.
Once well cooked , turn off flame and add the freshly grated coconut and mix everything well; so that the chillies and tapioca are mashed properly (but not too much).
Top with coconut oil and curry leaf.
Mix well. Serve hot.
Pictorial:
