Tapioca preparations are some of the favourites among fasting food dishes. It is a very versatile product. Tapioca goes well in sweet as well as savoury dishes. To name a few are sweet tapioca pudding, sabudana khichadi, sabudana wada etc.
This recipe is quick to make with pre-soaked tapioca. This is my mother's recipe and it's a family favourite.
