Kappa Varattiyathu (Tapioca Curry)

Posted by Rini Raj

Kappa Varattiyathu is an authentic kerala dish.. Combination is Fish curry ... I love it ...
I was in Kannur for 4 years of my life and there its a very famous dish.. I had tasted many versions of this dish..
In our hostel at least once in a week we get kappa and fish curry ... Yummy !!
For vegetarians this dish goes very well with ulli chammanthi too ... Or by its own... Thinking about it makes my mouth watery....

Turmeric powder should be added while cooking the kappa. It will help to intoxicate the HCN which is found on tapioca roots.


Ingredients :
Kappa (Tapioca) Peeled and cut into small pieces
Coconut grated - 1/2 cup
Shallots - 6-7 diced
Green Chilli - 2-3
Curry leaves
Cumin - a pinch
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Red Chilli - 1-2
Curry leaves
Mustuard Seeds
salt to taste


Wash kappa nicely and then add water and turmeric powder and salt and cook it nicely.
Grind the coconut, cumin and chilli together to a coarse paste. Keep it aside.
In a pan add some coconut oil and splutter mustard seeds and then add red chilli. Then add the diced shallots and saute till brown color. Then add the grinded coconut and kappa and mix it well. Add the curry leaves and add 1 tsp of coconut oil and mix well.
