Add 1/4tsp turmeric powder, 1/4tsp chilli powder and 1tsp garam masala. Saute it for a while until the raw smell of the masala is no more. Add the mashed tapioca and mix well for 5 minutes. Turn off the flame.
Let it cool down. Take 2 egg whites in a bowl and beat them with a fork.
Take bread crumbs in a plate.
Dip your hands in water and take a small portion of the mixture. Make a medium sized ball. Slightly press it with your palm. Dip it into the egg. Roll it in the bread crumbs. Keep it on a plate.
Repeat Step 7 for the rest of the mixture. Heat oil in a pan and fry the cutlets on a medium flame. Make sure to fry the cutlets in batches.
When both sides become golden brown, take the cutlets out of the oil. Tapioca cutlets are ready to be served.
