Ingredients:
| Tapioca / Cassava root (use fresh ones for this recipe) | 1 Medium sized | |
| Shallots | 2-3 | |
| Grated coconut | 1/2 cup | |
| Fresh Curry leaves | 1 sprig | |
| Salt | To taste |
Method:
- Cut the tapioca into 3 sections. Peel the tapioca sections and cut into chunks. Remove the inner vein if present. It is a tough vein that runs through the centre and may not be preset for very tender tapioca.
- Cook till tender with salt. I use a pressure cooker with very little water. Cook till you hear 1 steam for very fresh tapioca.. or up to 3 steams. It will be cotton -fluffy this way.
- Crush the shallots on stone (mortar).
- Add the grated coconut and curry leaves to the shallots and use your hands to massage the coconut and shallots together. No pounding here.
- Strain out all the water from the cooked tapioca in the pressure cooker.
- Add the coconut-shallot mixture to the hot tapioca with a dash of salt. Toss everything together lightly.
- Close the cooker, and allow to rest in its own steam briefly.
- Once you have made some tea, open and serve this comfort food – Teatime Tapioca!
Tea time Tapioca!
Notes:
- Only fresh tapioca must be used for this recipe. Fresh tapioca is fluffy and soft once cooked. If your tapioca has been sitting in the fridge a while, it tends to be denser and more yellow in colour when cooked. It is better for saute, stewed or stir-fry dishes.
