Tapioca Root Fritters

 
The break through of the usual saute - seasoned variety of the tapioca root was way too boring to give a try.
Yet the tapioca root I purchased was fresh from farm and was muddy and raw and too temting to cook something new and catchy.
 
I ended up making my mind to oil fry them ( you can even cook them on a Paniyaram pan for low oil preferred )..
 

 

 Ingredients Required :
 
Tapioca Root  - 3
Besan Flour    - Half cup
Rice Flour      - 2 tbsp
Onion             - 1
Green Chillies - 2
Salt                  - to taste
Turmeric Powder - a pinch
Oil enough to deep fry the fritters.
 
Method :

 

• Wash the tapioca root to clear away all the mud.
• Peel off the skin.
• Cut them into 1 inch squares.
• Steam them.
• Mash the thoroughly steamed tapioca root.
• Add in finely chopped onion, green chillie and coreander leaves.
• Mix well.
• Add in the besan flour, rice flour, salt, turmeric powder.
• Sape them as per your wish.
• Check if oil is hot enough to fry.
• Gently dip in the shaped tapioca to allow them to fry well.

Enjoy them for an evening Tea !!
