I love Maravalli kilangu / Tapioca. Last trip to India I tasted this at my friends house.. It tasted like adai with very little variation. She was expecting me to find the difference as I am food blogger, I initially thought it is with millet. but later she told me she has used Maravalli kilangu. I am surprised. I noted down the recipe from her and wanted to try it out. We do get this kilangu / yam. Loved the texture and taste of it.

Idli rice – 2 cup
Toor dhal – 1/4 cup
Red chillies – 4-5 (adjust to your spice level)

Asafoetida- 1/2 teaspoon
Shallots / small onion – 1 cup (chopped finely)
