Ingredients:

• Tapioca/Kappa – 3 Cups(Peeled and cubed pieces)
• Salt – as required

To Grind:

• Coconut – 1/2 Cup(grated)
• Jeera – 1.5 tsp
• Chilli Powder – 1.5 Tsp
• Turmeric Powder – 1/2 Tsp
• Garlic – 10 to 15 cloves
• Tamarind – a very small piece
• Curry leaves – 1 sprig

To Temper:

• Coconut oil – 1 tbsp
• Mustard Seeds – 1 tsp
• Urad dal – 1/2 Tsp
• Curry leaves – few
• Dry red Chillies -2

Method:
1. Peel the outer skin and wash the tapioca to remove any dirt or sand. Roughly cube the tapioca into medium sized pieces. In an open pot, cook the tapioca with enough water and a little salt.

2. Cook the tapioca until it is soft and it takes approximately 10 to 15 mins. Drain the water and keep it aside. Meanwhile, grind the items under ‘To Grind’ coarsely.

3. In a wide pan, temper the items under ‘To Temper’ and then add the ground coconut masala. Cook it for 2 to 3 minutes until the raw smell leaves. Add the required salt. Then add the cooked tapioca and mix it all together gently.

4. Switch off the flame after 3 to 4 minutes. Now the Kappa masala is ready.
