As like any Keralite, kappa is a hot favorite at my home too. We enjoy kappa boiled with salt and turmeric. The ideal dip is the classic ulli chammanthi. I can have that for lunch and dinner too. This variety was very fast to cooking. It got cooked in less than 10 minutes on stove top. Usually, I pressure cook. I made some tapioca chips, prepared the usual upperi as side for rice. Made this cutlet to be served with tea on a weekend.
Tapioca chopped into cubes - 2 cup
onion - 1
green chilly - 4 nos
ginger - a small wedge
curry leaves
turmeric
salt
oil for frying
Maida - 2 tblspn
bread crumbs - 1 cup
Cook tapioca with turmeric and salt. The cooked water is usually discarded since some toxic from the root is released on cooking. Heat oil in a kadai. Add the chopped chillies,ginger and curry leaves. Add chopped onion to it and saute till pink. Crumble the cooked tapioca and mix with the seasonings. Check the salt and let it cook for few minutes. Cool and mix together. Take lemon sized mixture and shape into patties.
Take 2 tablespoon of maida and add water to make a thin batter. Add a pinch of salt. Dip the patties in the batter and roll it over the bread crumbs.Heat a tawa. Drizzle few drops of oil. Place the cutlets on tawa and drizzle few drops of oil on the cutlets. When the bottom is browned, carefully flip it and cook the other side. Serve with your favorite chutney or sauce. I was in a hurry, so could not roast them longer for even browning.

ReplyDeleteI have had kappa appalams, but never had tapioca as such. I have heard a lot from my Keralite friends. You could send this to Joelen's Local Eats adventure. Tomorrow midnight is the deadline!
ReplyDeleteHarini,thanks for info on the event. Have updated my post. Its the kappa season now. Try it if its available in ur market.
ReplyDeleteHaven't come across kolli cutlets until now. Unlike most Keralites, though, I don't care much for kolli. Even during my hostel days, I used to trade my plate of kolli for something else.
