There was a time when I got bored with Kappa / Tapioca roots as they got piled up when cultivated by my grand parents at their home. As time passed and they grew old, they stopped growing these all of a sudden and then I realized the value of the small things... missing those days. Kappa Vazhatiyathu was like a compulsory snack during our Tea time in Kerala. Am so happy that I can get them here and snack them the same way my granny prepared for us. My hubby is so happy when I prepare this as its so filling when he is back from office :). Another traditional recipe that you will not want to miss from Kerala.
