my cooking - Kappa poottu

Kappa poottu.....Tapioca rice steam cake

Ingredients
1. Rice powder 2 cups
2. Kappa (Tapioca) Grated 2 cups
3. Coconut grated (1/2 of a coconut)
4. Sugar 1tbsp
5. Water 1 cup
6. Salt to taste

         This also very easy to make and I got this recipe from my aunt ....
         Squeeze all the juice from the kappa ( Tapioca )and put in a deep bowl.... to it add the rice powder.... mix it with your fingers ( to get the actual texture ) ..In a cup of water add necessary salt (water should stand little salty) now sprinkle water little by little and mix well ( with your fingers) Mix the powder till you find the powder gets into tiny balls (it should feel wet )...In between if you find the mix is salt enough add only plane water while you mix .............In a small bowl add coconut and sugar ..mix it well and keep aside...In a rice steamer boil water and using the top part of the rice steamer... place the filter and layer coconut first ( a thin layer is enough ) and then on top of the coconut layer the powder mix ( it should be thick ) do this procedure till it fills to the top close it and  then place it on the steamer let it cook for 5mins ..When you find the steam coming out....... your kappa poottu is ready..........
