Tapioca Fry

Ingredients

Tapioca - 1 (large)
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 sp
Salt - To taste
Water - To cook
Oil - 2 sp
Mustard - 1/4 sp
Urad dhal - 1/4 sp
Curry leaves - 5
Whole Red Chillies - 2
Coconut grating - 1/4 cup

Method

1. Remove the skin of tapioca with a knife. I don't think a peeler will work for this. (This is little difficult... but worth it)
2. Cut the tapioca into 1" cubes.
3. In a pressure cooker, add the tapioca cubes, turmeric powder, salt and required amount of water (just to cover the cut cubes) to cook it.
4. Cook for about 2 whistles in medium - high heat. Do not overcook. The tapioca cubes will turn mushy.
5. In a pan, add oil.
6. When hot, add the mustard, urad dhal, curry leaves and red chillies. Let these splutter.
7. Drain the water from the  cooked tapioca and add the tapioca cubes to the pan. (may be with very little water)
8. Add salt if needed.
9. Gently and carefully, fry the tapioca cubes (not turning them mushy) till all the water is evaporated.
10. Now add the grated coconut, and fry for another 2 min.
11. Serve as a side or eat simply!!!
