Ingredients
  • Tapioca/Cassava/Manioc - 500g
  • Curry Powder - 1 tablespoon
  • Turmeric powder - ¼ teaspoon
  • Onion - 50g
  • Green chilies - 2 or 3
  • Curry leaves - Few
  • Thick coconut milk - 150ml
  • Tamarind juice - 50ml
  • Salt - As you need
  • Water - 250ml
Instructions
  1. Take the tapioca, peel off the skin and cut it into small pieces.
  2. Slice the onions and green chilies. Also, take few curry leaves, turmeric powder, salt, and curry powder. (Refer Note 1)
  3. Extract thick coconut milk from grated coconut. Get some tamarind juice and water. (Refer Note 2)
  4. Place the cooking pan on the stove and add pieces of tapioca. On top of that, add sliced onions, curry leaves, sliced green chilies, turmeric powder, and salt.
  5. Add water and mix everything.
  6. Now, switch on the flame and cook covered under the high flame for 6 to 8 minutes.
  7. Take off the lid, stir and mix everything. Again cook covered under high flame until all the water disappears. For me, it takes about 5 minutes. At this stage, the tapioca pieces should be soft and tender. You can check this using a spoon. If you feel hard to mash tapioca pieces, you need to add some more water and cook covered again until it becomes soft and tender.
  8. Add curry powder and coconut milk.
  9. Add tamarind juice. Mix and mash the tapioca a little. Don’t mash to smooth paste.
  10. Cook covered under low flame for 2 or 3 minutes.
  11. Take off the lid and taste the curry. Add salt if needed.
  12. This is how to make tapioca curry. Serve and enjoy this delicious Sri Lankan style mild-spicy dish.
Notes
Note 1: If you don’t like more spiciness, you can reduce the amount of curry powder.

Note 2: In Sri Lanka, we can easily get the grated coconut. If it is hard to find grated coconut, you can use coconut milk powder or bottled coconut milk.
