Kappa Biryani is a traditional Kerala dish. It is a non
vegetarian preparation generally prepared with beef and tapioca. Easy to
prepare tasty dish (mouth watering). It is a tasty delicacy and can be eaten as a
heavy snack, lunch, brunch or dinner.
This dish can be prepared using lamb/mutton or beef. Here I have used lamb to make this dish. Lamb cooks fast, so I prepared this dish in a single pan.
If you use mutton or beef you can follow the same procedure by cooking the meat
for long time in a single pan method.
Else if you want to prepare this dish using mutton or beef you can pressure cook the meat by adding a teaspoon of ginger garlic paste and salt for 3 whistles. Retain the meat cooked water and sprinkle when you cook the tapioca and meat together and follow the below mentioned recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
Tapioca/ Kappa, cubed- 1 kg
Lamb/ Mutton/ Beef- 500 grams
Onion, chopped- 1 ½ -2
Green chilli-2
Ginger, finely chopped- 1 tablespoon
Garlic, finely chopped- 1 tablespoon
Turmeric powder- ¼ teaspoon
Chilli powder- 1 teaspoon
Coriander powder- 1 ½ teaspoons
Garam masala- ¼ teaspoon
Pepper- ¼ teaspoon
Salt- to taste
Curry leaves- 2 sprigs
Oil- 2 teaspoons
PROCEDURE:
- Boil some water and add the tapioca pieces & salt; cook till it becomes soft.
- Heat oil in a pan and sauté onion till translucent, add ginger and garlic cook till the raw smell leaves.
- Add the meat pieces and salt. Cook till the meat colour changes from pink to white.
- Now add turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala , pepper and cook till the masala smell leaves.
- Add the curry leaves and let it cook for a minute; it flavors the whole meat a lot.
- Check if the meat is properly cooked and add salt.
- Now add the cooked tapioca and lightly mash it and mix well.
- Add if you need extra curry leaves.
- Add chopped onions while serving.
- Note: I have prepared this dish with less oil though the meat oozes out some fat from that.
- You can add extra oil/ coconut oil and curry leaves to make this dish more rich.
- If you use mutton or beef cook the meat with ginger garlic paste, salt, quarter cup of water and cook till three whistles on medium flame and follow the above procedure.
