Recipe By Slurrp

A savoury dish from Kerala made with tapioca and beef, Kappa Biriyani is also called Kappa Erachi or Ellum Kappa or Tapioca Biriyani. Visakham Thirunal Rama Varma, the Maharaja of Travancore, introduced kappa or tapioca to the state when his kingdom was going through a famine in 1880-1885 to ensure that there wasn’t another famine.

Kappa is mostly eaten with meat by the Christians of Kerala. It may be cooked and served with different curries. Kappa Biriyani makes a wholesome meal and is a favourite with meat-eaters in Kerala. The dish can be made with mutton or chicken as well, but the beef version is the most popular. It is commonly eaten as street food or a snack at Thattukadas, which are small roadside food shops.
