The tapioca is full of starch and can be used like potatoes.

If you live in this bio region and don’t have tapioca growing in your garden, you should seriously try to grow it, because it grows so easily, and if you look in your garden you may actually find chicken spinach growing there wild.

Temper mustard seeds and cumin in hot oil, add garlic, onion, tomato, green chili and the tapioca cubes.

Add sufficient amount of water to cover tapioca and let it cook for a few minutes, add turmeric and the chicken spinach, cook for a few minutes.

This dish gives us a good idea of how to use produce that is found in abundance and yet, ironically, is under valued.
