Tapioca Fry



 Tapioca / cassava  is called as kuchikilangu in our kongu region . It is commonly called as maravalikilangu in tamil. As this is widely cultivated in our kongu region it was a common snack in most of the homes.
 Tapioca is the root tuber of the plant which is rich in starch, so used to make sago pearls.
Tapioca chips is a famous snack in tamilnadu .as this plant needs less water to grow , it is planted in semidry lands.
  My mom told that during her childhood days , they will have this tapioca as the meal for dinner . Nowadays it has become snack due to less production………….
