Kappa puttu /tapioca rice cakes

As I am writing this post ,I was thinking where to start. I was just so immersed in thoughts,that is not encouraging enough to get me to write posts...I have so many things going in life and one of them is the state at which we are in now . The laws of the country changing and we as Muslims lived in Harmony with all the others . Never there has been discrimination amongst us in this country,but now, after the bill was passed , I can feel the tension in public. While travelling in public places , still we do not feel safe anymore. I don't know how this will end but will it ever end .. only Allah can have a say it.

Today's recipe is something the usual the keralites love to make . And as a working mom ,it's my favorite. Easy ,healthy and filling.
Puttu recipe  is authentic of Kerala. It's usually had with kadala curry or the next combo is with banana and sugar.

Today's puttu is with a little different variety. Aj had got some tapioca. We love to have for tea tempered  with roasted chilli's and curry leaves. There were few left overs . So we had some sliced and I sun dried  them .As it was sunny I got to get it sun dried quick enough . Grind the pieces and it's good to go . Add it with the puttu podi and steam as per recipe . It tastes unique and it's very healthy too. The filling is very simple just add in layers the  coconut shreds ,puttu podi and tapioca powder ,layer it in the cylinder and steam it up .that's it. This  variety puttu is healthy and tasty too.
