Kappa Ularthiyathu is a super simple recipe of seasoning cooked tapioca and having it as snack or main dish served with dark curries or red chilli chutney. This can be had as evening snack or just side dish with rice.
Am not a fan of Tapioca but few dishes I learnt from my in laws made me a fan of it. More than that, my son loves tapioca and so often we started making them at home. Kappa vevichathu is just boiling the tapioca and having it with red chilli chutney.
Kappa ularthiathu is just seasoning the tapioca with mustard seeds, curry leaves and red chillies. It can be had with mutton curry/chicken curry/kadala curry. Sometimes I prefer having it plain. There is another version with onion and garlic here
