Shallots – 1 big (Sliced)
Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
Coconut oil

Steps:
Discard the stem of the boiled tapioca.

Grind boiled tapioca and soaked rice in batches adding very little water.
Do not grind to a very fine paste. There should be some fine granules left (like rava).
The batter should be thick. So be careful not to add too much water while grinding.
Add onion, ginger, green chilly, curry leaves, crushed dry red chillies, pepper powder, asafoetida and salt to it. Mix well.
Cover and let it rest for ½-3 hours. (This is optional)

To make chutney, grind coconut along with ginger, shallots, red chilly and salt adding tamarind extract.
Transfer it to a bowl and mix well.
Heat coconut oil in a pan for tempering.
Add mustard seeds and let it splutter.
Add urad dal, dry red chilly, shallots and curry leaves.
When the shallots turn golden, add turmeric powder.
Switch off and add this to the chutney. Mix well.

Heat oil in a pan to make vada.
Take a spoonful of batter and drop it into the oil.
Cook on high heat.
Once the bottom turns golden, flip and cook until golden.
Now turn to medium flame and cook till the vada is cooked.
Cook on high heat before removing from oil.
Enjoy the kappa vada hot with chutney.
