I have made puttu out of it...This is one of my favorite sweet...I learned this recipe from my grandma...She makes this for me every time I visit her house... I thought i am going to miss this puttu after coming to US...But luckily now days i am able to find this Tapioca in the shops and i started to make this puttu.
I grate the Tapioca and coconut..Then steam the Tapioca until it is cooked and then mix in the coconut, sugar and cardamon powder...
I made this puttu last weekend and I thought it will be the best recipe for Nupar's A to Z of Indian Vegetables event for "T". So Topioca Puttu
is my contribution for the letter "T" ..
Ingredients :
Tapioca - 1 lb
Coconut - 1 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup or according to taste
Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Procedure :
1. Peal the skin and grate the tapioca.
2. Tie the grated tapioca in wet cloth and steam until it is cooked (About 10 to 15 mins)
3. Once it is cooked remove from the cloth and bring to a large bowl and mix the sugar while it is still worm.
4. Now mix the grated coconut and cardamom powder.
5. It can be served hot or at room temperature.

ReplyDeleteIn the Caribbean we make something called pone with the same ingredients you have there - tapicoa, coconut and sugar and we also add cinnamon. It is baked in the oven until the liquid from the tapicoa dries out and golden brown, it is called pone.
ReplyDeleteI will share this recipe you have here with my mom.

this is very unique Sukanya, haven;t heard of this thks dear for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteMy mom will make it at home .It will be full filling even when you have in small quantity! Instead of grating first it can be cooked in pressure cooker and then peel the skin and smash.By that way wont it be easy to peel the skin? can we do like that too? its just an idea.
quite an unusual puttu, really - i never thought tapioca can be used this way - it ahs been my least favorite so far and i wa slooking to find different ways to cook it... thanks for sharing this recipe.
ReplyDeleteIts something new and tapioca is healthy too. Viji
ReplyDeleteHi friends...
ReplyDeleteRoopa:
Thank u...
ushaprashanth:
I have tried like that also....... But I think if it is going to be smashed in hand, it will become more musshy..Since it has lot of starch in them it tends to become more gummy. Thank u..
Vcuisine:

ReplyDeleteooh, i love tapioca. should try this recipe!
