TAPIACO / MARAVALLI KIZHANGU / KAPPA / BIRIYANI



We usually make chips from tapiaco / maravalli kizhangu in tamil /kappa or kolli in Malayalam. I prepared a yummy spicy biriyani from tapiaco. Easy to prepare but very tasty to eat. Rice cooked in coconut milk and tapiaco in shallots red chillies gravy, taste heavenly.
Tapioca is almost pure starch and has very limited nutritional value . However, it's naturally gluten-free, so it can serve as a wheat substitute in cooking and baking for people who are on a gluten-free diet. 

These include a very low level of saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. It is also a rich source of dietary fiber, “good” cholesterol, and protein. Furthermore, tapioca contains members of the vitamin B-complex, including pantothenic acid, folate, and B6, as well asiron, manganese, calcium, copper, and selenium.
