Wash and pressure cook the tapioca along with the turmeric powder and salt till done. I pressure cooked it for one whistle, switched it off and let the pressure go on its own.

Drain and keep aside.

Heat oil in your saucepan. Splutter the mustard seeds.

Add the curry leaves, garlic paste and chilli flakes and saute till the garlic leaves out an awesome aroma.

Add the cooked tapioca and give it a nice mix till the masala gets coated well.

Leave for a couple of minutes on low flame. Switch off and serve hot with a cup of hot chai!!!
