Kappa Meen Curry

Tasty Kerala dish.  My love grew for Kappa and Meen when I came to US.  Here is Recipe:




Remove skin from Yucca and cut it in big pieces.  Wash it well and soak in cold water for few minutes. Boil it in water.  Remove water two times and add new water.  Add salt. Continue to cook. Remove from heat when Yucca is fully cooked and soft. Keep aside.  

Heat oil in a pan.  Add mustard seed.  Make a coarse paste of onion, grated coconut, turmeric powder, red chili and garlic.  Add in the pan and roast it for 4-5 minutes.  Add cooked Yucca in it.  Mix well.  Serve with fish curry.
