Kappa Puttu (Steamed Tapioca)

Ingredients

Tapioca – 1.5 cups, grated

Rice powder– 2.5 tablespoons

Coconut – ¾ cup, grated

Cumin seeds – ½ teaspoon

Salt – to taste

Method

Wash the grated tapioca in cold water at least twice and squeeze out the water completely. Mix it with salt and rice powder. Add cumin seeds and half of grated coconut and mix well. Then put 1 tablespoon of coconut in the puttu vessel, then grated tapioca and again a little coconut. (Follow the normal procedure of making puttu). Steam it for 8-10 minutes. Serve kappa puttu with Kadala curry or with any non vegetarian dish.

Note – You can use wheat powder instead of rice powder. I used Wheat puttu flour.
