Cut into rough cubes by driving the knife in and splitting it off the centre of the tapioca. Cook the tapioca in a pan with enough water to cover it by an inch, until the pieces are soft (about 10-15 mins). Drain the remaining water and discard. Crush or coarsely grind the garlic and red chillies together in a pestle and Mortar. Heat oil and add the mustard seeds following by the split urad dal. When the mustard seeds pop, add the garlic-chilli paste along with the turmeric powder and fry for 10 seconds so that the paste turns fragrant. Add the cooked tapioca, salt, and the curry leaves. Mix well and continue to stir until the spices coat the tapioca. That’s it! Hot and delicious Kappa Masala is ready. Wasn’t that easy? Love the serving dish?
