Creamy Paal Kappa/ Milk Cassava

Paal Kappa/ Milk Cassava is a traditional dish from the South Indian state of Kerala, especially popular among the Christian communities in the central and southern regions. The name translates to "milk tapioca," where "paal" means milk and "kappa" means tapioca. It is made by cooking tapioca pieces in coconut milk along with mild spices like green chilies, garlic, and curry leaves, resulting in a rich, creamy, and subtly flavored dish. Unlike the spicier versions of kappa dishes, Paal Kappa is known for its mellow and comforting taste, often paired with spicy fish curry or beef fry to balance the flavors. It showcases the classic Kerala combination of coconut and root vegetables, highlighting the region’s love for simple yet hearty meals.
