Tapioca Poriyal (Stir fry)

What is poriyal? Anyone like to help me out here? Okay, alright, I don't think I can clearly hear you, so let me tell you how would I describe Poriyal. Basically, its a stir fry. That's it. Case close. Lets not talk about poriyal anymore, rather, lets get to the recipe of the day. Tapioca Poriyal (Stir fry). Remember my previous recipe which also showcased tapioca (Stir Fried Tapioca With Anchovies Turmeric). Period. Almost two and more years up the road, I actually bought tapioca/cassava/maravallikkilanku again. I know. Been some time right? I know. Actually, I hardly buy, I myself can't really tell you why, but I still remember how popular eating boiled tapioca alongside fresh grated coconut and palm/white sugar was such a thing during my growing up year. The other mum does, of course, is any kind of spicy tapioca dish.  

So, logically, instead of a sweet tapioca treat (Pineapple Tarts & Milo Cake), for us, we are not really into desserts anyway, logically then, a spicy side dish makes a whole lot of sense. Akin stir frying potatoes (Dried Chillies Potato Stir Fried), its a similar style for this Tapioca Poriyal, one which literally goes well with other vegetarian dishes (Long Beans Milk Turmeric, Ghee Rice, Dhal Bitter Gourd Curry, Spicy Chick Pea Beans, Moor Kulumbu, Masala Mustard Green, Cauliflower Curry, Cabbage Dhal Stir Fried, Carrot Cucumber Salad, Mint Rice & Pavakkai Poriyal).  Bye everyone. Take care. Will be in touch with all of you sooner or later.
