Kappa/Cassava Root – In olden days Kappa was know as “staple food of poor” in Kerala. In those days due to the high price of rice, labour class people consumed starch rich Kappa as a substitute of rice. But Kappa was not much popular in hotels those days except in toddy shops. But now a days Kappa is the most lovable nostalgic dish for everyone.
Peeled and cut Kappa can be dried and stored for availing for a long period, called as “unakka kappa” (dried kassava).
Variety of dishes can be made from kappa like – Kappa puzhukku, Kappa puzhungiyathu, Kappa biriyani, Kappa chips.
Kappa puzhuk was eaten with “pazham kanji” (rice kept in water over night), chammanthi and fish curry as a breakfast.
