TAPIOCA CHIPS

Tapioca is used much in south india. Javarisi or sabudana is from this tapioca. It is well known for its chips like potato chips. It is so simple to make and one of the most popular street food in Tamilnadu. 

Ingredients
Tapioca / Cassava – 1
Chilly powder
Salt

Method
1. Remove the dark outer skin of tapioca.
2. Heat enough oil in a frying pan, using a vegetable slicer slice the tapioca directly into the oil. (watch your hands while slicing directly, this is the method used by professionals)
else thinly slice the tapioca using a vegetable slicer or a knife before and then(I used the knife, but it is little hard to slice) drop the slices into the oil in batches and deep fry it till  brown.
3. Drain it from oil and keep it in a paper towel to remove excess oil, sprinkle rad chilly powder and salt while it is hot. Serve as a evening snack with tea or coffee.

Note: Slice tapioca into very thin slices. It will become more hard if you over fry the chips. Fry till nice brown and crispy and remove.

There is an another kind of chips using the same tapioca. This is so simple compare to the above method, but the above one taste better than this.
1. Remove the outer skin of the tapioca and cut into 4 to 5 inch big pieces. Add enough water and salt and pressure cook it. (one whistle)
2. Allow it to cool and thinly slice the cook tapioca and spread it on a paper or on a board and dry it under sunlight for 3 to 4 days and store this dry chips in a air tight container.
3. Whenever you want to have some chips, heat enough oil in a frying pan and fry the dried chips (as we fry vadagam or appalam) and season with red chilly powder and enjoy with rice.
