Tapioca is also known as Maravallli Kizhangu in Tamil , Kappa in Malayalam, Kavva pendalam in Telugu, Mara Genasu in Kannada and Simla Alu in Hindi. it is rich in calcium.

Just like potato, maize and chillies, Tapioca too is an import to the rest of the world, a gift by Portuguese sailors who brought it from Brazil to Africa and Asia.

When it comes to Kerala kappa has a rich history. It is said that this dish was introduced as a substitute to rice by the then King of Travancore Vishakham Thirunal Rama Varma in between 1880-1884 C.E, after his kingdom was hit by a great famine. Since then, kappa is still being consumed as a rice substitute by many people in Kerala.
