Cooking the Kappa /Tapioca : Clean the impurities of tapioca/kappa and peel the skin and chop into medium pieces. Pour enough water to the cleaned tapioca so that all the pieces will be immersed completely, cook uncovered and allow to boil. When the water boils,remove and drain the water and again add the same amount of water, turmeric powder, salt and cook untill it turns to soft. (Note : It should not be watery and too soft, so keep checking occasionally as some tapioca roots cook fast and some take longer time.) Remove from the fire and keep it aside for 5-10 minutes and drain the excess water and set aside. Combine the grated coconut, shallots, ginger and green chillies in a grinder till crushed. Add this to the cooked tapioca and mash the tapioca pieces well while mixing.
Cooking the Meat Masala: Marinate the meat with bones with minced ginger, garlic, 1 tsp red chilli powder, turmeric powder, black pepper powder and 1 sprig curry leaves for 2-3 hours. Heat oil in the pan, add the chopped small onions and sauté until it turns to translucent and light brown in color. Add the remaining curry leaves, green chillies, remaining 1tsp red chilli powder, meat masala, garam masala and sauté for couple of seconds. Add the marinated meat, combine well and pressure cook it by adding 1/4 cup water for 3-4 whistles or until done. Set aside. Pour this over the cooked tapioca, serve hot and enjoy!
