Kappa or tapioca is malayalee's comfort food at least for the old generation. Kappa curry, kappa fry, kappa and fish, meat kappa, kappa biriyani.....the list is endless. Personally, I like boiled kappa and green chilly chutney as a tea time snack.
Ingredients:
Kappa: 1 kg.
Water.
Salt.
Method:
Clean kappa and put it in cooker with water and after 2 whistle switch off fire and (cooking depends on the type of kappa) put cooker under running water and let the steam go. Put in 1 tsp salt and let it boil for a min. Strain the water. Serve hot with chutney.
For the chutney:
10 to 15 green chilies (can add more if u like it really hot)
1 onion/10 shallots.
Salt.
Coconut oil: 1 tbsp.
Method:
Grind coarsely green chilies and shallots either in a stone grinder or in chutney bowel of mixer. Mix with salt and coconut oil. Serve with hot kappa.
