brings back lot of memories. In Chennai, kumaragam restaurant we ordered this dish thinking it is kind of Kerala fish and didnt realise since the waiter was screwing up our orders ,he had english limitations and none of us could speak malayalam or hindi :) Ultimately we enjoyed eating this though we were expecting some sour taste coupled spicy kerala fish ;)

Oh my - we had this when we visited Kerala - so good! We had never seen tapioca cooked as a vegetable before, only those little pearls made from tapioca starch. We liked it a lot - it reminded us of sticky potatoes.
