Maravalli kizhangu| mara seeni kilangu|மரவள்ளி கிழங்கு(in tamil) also called as Kappa in Kerala, Tapioca in English is a root vegetable. I have always eaten maravali kizhangu chips during my childhood days, fondly called as kuchi chips. I have never tasted maravalli kizhangu in any form. My sister was telling me from last year to try maravalli kizhangu adai. I am clueless of the recipe and didn't attempt to try at home. Last week while casually searching for something else in the book shelf, came across the recipe of Maravalli kizhangu adai, in Revathy shanmugam madam's cook book. I learnt the method of how to take the skin of cassava | maravalli kizhangu, from my helper. Check out my

  • Wash the maravalli kizhangu few times in running water.
  • Take out the skin. Please refer the video above on how to remove the skin of cassava | maravalli kizhangu.
  • Grate the maravalli kizhangu or chop them into fine pieces.
  • This doesn't get discolored so you can grate and keep it inside the refrigerator.

  • Add the red chili and ginger .
  • Wash and soak this in water for 3 hours.

  • No need to ferment the batter. You can use it immediately.
  • Heat a dosa pan and add 2 ladle of adai batter to this.

  • Make a hole in the center. This enables the adai to gets cook in the center easily.
  • Drizzle oil around the adai.
  • When it is cooked on one side, flip the adai.

  • Serve hot with jaggery or molagapodi or any chutney of your choice.
