Cheeni (Tapioca) vevichathu

Cheeni and Fish mulaku curry is my ever time favourite dish. Mostly in south kerala, tapioca is very famous. Whenever I am going my native, my kunjammachi (mom's sister) used to prepare this dish for me. I learned this recipe from my kunjammachi... Very happy to share this recipe with you all! :)


Ingredients 

Tapioca : 1 Kg
Turmeric powder : 1 tsp
Jeera : 1/2 tsp
Green Chilly : 1
Garlic : 2-3 pods
Coconut : 1/4 cup
Curry leaf : Few
Salt : to taste

Method

  • Cut the tapioca in to small pieces like how we cut mango for mango pickle. Wash it well in running water 4-5 times, so that only the soil runs off in the water
  • Pressure cook the tapioca and salt for 2 whistles. Mean time, grind the coconut, turmeric powder, jeera, green chilly, garlic and curry leaf coarsely.
  • Once the pressure releases, drain the water and keep the tapioca in a heavy bottomed vessel.
  • Add the grounded mixture to the tapioca and again cook it for 10 minutes in less water.
  • Once it cooked well, Mash it well using a spoon back or a laddle until it become a thick mixture. 
Note : Add sufficient salt while cooking raw tapioca, if salt is little less, add it while re-cooking by adding ground paste. If not salt will not spread equally. 

The best combination with cheeni vevichathu is any fish mulaku curry and pulissery is also another combo for this!!! 

Hope you all enjoyed!!! Stay Healthy, Stay Happy!!
