Today I am here with dried tapioca recipe.Normally we make kappa puzhukku or fresh tapioca recipe with / without coconut mixture which is popular among the people from Kerala.I brought dried tapioca from Kerala which was given by my elder sister.

There are two types of dried tapioca ie;unakka kappa and Vattukappa.Unakka kappa which has been cleaned ,washed and directly dry in sun for few days.

But Vattukappa which has been cleaned ,washed and half cooked in water .When it is half cooked drain off water completely and dry in sun  for days. Vattu kappa/Dried tapioca can be stored for many months in air tight boxes/ containers.
