Kappa Ularthu | Tapioca Stir Fry

Kappa Ularthu | Tapioca Stir Fry is a classic Kerala dish known for its earthy flavours and comforting taste.

Ingredientsfor 4 servings

500 g Tapioca Kappa
10 nos Small onions or Cheriya ulli
10 nos Garlic cloves
Kashmiri chilly powder As per your wish
½ tsp Turmeric powder
Curry leaves, a few
½ tsp Mustard seeds — optional
Salt, to taste
1 tbsp Coconut Oil

Preparation

Step 1
Cook tapioca pieces along with salt in a pressure cooker, till done.
Step 2
Cut them into small or medium sized pieces. Set aside.
Step 3
Crush (do not chop or slice) the small onions and the unpeeled garlic cloves.
Step 4
Set a pan over medium heat and pour in the oil or a kadai.
Step 5
Let the mustard seeds crackle.
Step 6
Add crushed small onions and crushed garlic and cook for a while.
Step 7
Reduce the flame and add turmeric powder followed by chilly powder and fry. See to it that it doesn't get burnt.
Step 8
Add curry leaves and cook again.
Step 9
Add a little salt, if necessary.
Step 10
Add the chopped tapioca pieces.
Step 11
Give it a good stir for a few minutes till the whole mixture gets mixed well. You can pour in a couple of tsp of oil too if the whole thing gets too dry.
Step 12
Take it off the heat. when done.
Step 13
Serve it piping hot.
Step 14
And so you are serving a spicy kappa delicacy on your table with no time waiting for you to dig in. A perfect tea time snack too in case you have a couple of cooked kappa left over. And not too sure if it would be appreciated by kids as my little one always turns his face off to the sight of kappa.
Step 15
As a matter of fact, Kappa is one of a kind that is extremely popular globally too and holds a rather predominant place in Kerala households particularly among the poor although nowadays highly preferred by rich too. Thankfully, taste buds do not have class and discrimination as many of the human minds do.
Step 16
Speaking of such discrimination, actually, it is extremely disheartening to see the existence of such hard-core racial and class discrimination even today in the 21st century and I think its high time we eradicated the word (Inequality÷ from this planet. So guys, as a first step, look around, reach out for the downtrodden, treat them as equals, help them in every possible way and bring big smiles to their faces just like the one this kappa ularthu is gonna bring to yours! and that should be something like this.
Step 17
So, on that note, happy cooking!

Tip

The final handful of curry leaves should go in right at the end, off the heat — they should crackle and crisp in the residual heat.
