THAI TAPIOCA PUDDING




Thailand as well as throughout Southeast Asia, tapioca is a common dessert. Fabulous Thai Tapioca dessert is so exotic and scrumptious tasting. Tapioca is a natural root vegetable that looks like a grain when processed, but is completely gluten-free. It is very tropical tasting, yet also light and healthy with all the good nutrients of fruits which is perfect for hot summer nights. Tropical Thai treat that is truly unforgettable!

Lychee is one of our favorite fruit and I will never miss if it is available while shopping. Lychee fruit is high in the Antioxidant , Vitamin C , Essential Minerals, Potassium. Lychee is a rare sub tropical fruit originating in South China where the lychee is very important in their culture and is famed as "the King of Fruits" and it is also throughout Thailand, North Vietnam and northern India.



THAI TAPIOCA PUDDING

Ingredients :

Tapioca pearls - 1/2 cup ( big one)
Sugar - 1/2 cup ( I used brown sugar, u can use both white or brown)
Thick coconut - 1/2 cup ( If you are using the coconut cream reduce to 1/4 cup)
Fruits - 1 cup You can use young coconut, jack fruit, longan, lychee, Rambutaan, mango,Papaya, banana etc
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Shaved Ice for topping - (optional)




Directions:

1. Wash and soak the Tapioca for minimum 3 hrs or whole night in 1 cup of water.
2. Add 1 1/2 cups water. When water is boiling add the tapioca which is soaked.
3. Reduce the heat so that the tapioca simmers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tapioca turns translucent and is tender when tasted, about 15 to 30 minutes( careful not to make mushy and the tapioca changes to transparent).
4.Remove from the heat. Now stir the Coconut milk into the warm pudding and set aside to cool to room temperature refrigerate until chilled. To serve, stir the fruits into the pudding, then spoon into 4 individual dishes and garnish with mint leaves.




Note :

1. Drain the water in soaked tapioca.
2. Usually in singapore this pudding is served with shaved ice.. and it tastes wonderful too.
3. Add fruits only at the time of serving.
4. If the pudding gets thickened while refrigeration, dilute it with coconut milk or water if necessary.

Nice recipe anni, though the recipe is the same as sabbu biyyam payasam except that this is made in coconut milk and has some fruits on top. I can imagine the taste of coconut milk in sabbubiyyam payasam. It sounds good! I always love Thai food because most of their dishes contain coconut in them. Post more thai dishes anni... :D
