Tapioca is one of the widely consumed root vegetables in Kerala. During its season, weekly at least once my mom used to prepare different dishes with it. I love all the recipes of it, as I am a die hard fan of tapioca 😃. Whenever we get together at my grandmom's house, kappa vevichathu/ cooked tapioca and different verities of fish curries are the main highlights of our feast.
My mom and aunts used to preserve it in large quantity for later use. So whenever I go to Kerala, I used to take one packet of dried tapioca with me. Tapioca with coconut mixture is a commonly cooked dish but here I am sharing a very simple unakka kappa vevichathu/ cooked tapioca recipe with you. I have used only red chili powder, turmeric and salt to make this mouth watering dish.
