Kappa Puttu

Ingredients:
1/2 kg Tapioca (soft variety without much strings)
1 Coconut (grated)
Salt to taste

Method:

• Wash and peel the tapioca. Grate into a dish with water. Strain and press it to remove the water completely. Add a pinch of salt and mix.
• Take a puttu vessel, pour some water (it should fill only half the vessel) and boil. Take the Puttu Kutti (mould), put a handful of grated coconut and two handfuls of grated tapioca on the coconut.
• Repeat till the kutti is full. The last layer should be of coconut.
• Keep this in the vessel with boiling water.
• Cover and cook till the steam comes out. Keep for few seconds more.
• Remove the kutti from the vessel. Remove the contents to a plate from the kutti with the help of a chappati roller.
• Serve hot with banana and sugar or with any curry.
