Flavor rich salmon fillet masala can be used as side dish or in biriyani preparation. Buy wild atlantic salmon if it is not too pricey for your food budget. You may be able to recognize the taste – it’s stronger than farmed salmon; the flesh is firmer, too. Bear in mind that you’re most likely to find wild salmon between the months of May and September, when the Alaska commercial harvest is in progress.

An urban legend from Kerala claims that the English word tapioca derives from the Malayalam word combination, “thappiyokka” . The story behind the legend claims that a European, while in Kerala, once came across a native crouching on the ground, digging under a rather thin and tall plant. Tapioca is 100 % starch, protein free and gluten free.
If you have kids born and brought up outside Kerala ..they won’t like the sticky and gooey stuff. According to them, Kappa Puzhukku is a sticky item. So to get rid of the sticky feel, I found this recipe in Mrs K M Mathew’s recipe book. It worked out well..ABCD’s(American Born Confused Desis) started loving them.Tapioca tarts, with minced meat or roasted prawn/shrimp filling, make an excellent combination.

2. Oil – 1 big spoon
3. Shallots (chopped fine) – 5

The flavour of this Konchu/Chemeen masala will make you crave for more and more , especially when you combine it with Tapioca/Kappa Tarts.

I have always wondered why the name ‘Molly”, perhaps the name of the inventor. A Molly aunty from Kottayam or Pathanamthitta would have made this dish for the first time.Vellappam and fish molly are a great combination.
