February 25, 2021
Kappa Puzhukku is a traditional Kerala-style tapioca dish made with boiled cassava, spices, curry leaves and coconut oil. Tapioca, known as kappa in Malayalam, is widely enjoyed across Kerala as a breakfast dish, side dish or hearty staple food.
The tapioca is boiled until soft, lightly mashed and then combined with an aromatic tempering to create a rustic dish with a soft yet slightly chunky texture.
A classic way to serve Kerala Kappa Puzhukku is alongside spicy fish curry, especially sardine or Kerala-style fish curry. It also pairs well with meat curries and other traditional South Indian dishes.
