MASHED TAPIOCA WITH COCONUT MASALA

There are many types of mashed tapioca mash. This is the method which my mother used to prepare. I love this the most. I tried to prepare the same many times and never got the real taste. This time my mother came to visit us and she prepared  this. 

Ingredients:
Tapioca - 1 big sized 
Oil - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds to season
Curry leaves  - 1 sprig
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt to tatse
Ginger - about 2 mm slice
Green chili - 1
Tamarind - 1 small piece
Water  - 3/4 cup


Preparation:
Cut Tapioca into pieces and boil in water with a pinch of salt. Grind all the other ingredients with salt to taste to a coarse paste.

Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard seeds. Add curry leaves and add the masala. Add water and mix with masala. When the masala mix comes to boil add boiled tapioca and mash with a spoon.

When the mixture slighty thickens but still little semi gravy consistency turn the heat off and set aside. This thickens after some time.

Serve hot with fish curry or meat curry. Or simply with thick coconut thuvayal.
