Tapioca which is commonly known as Kappa / Kolli in Kerala is like a staple food for all keralites. It is usually boiled and had with spicy chutneys or made into semi gravy form and had with any non vegetarian side dish.

In this recepie I have combined egg fry with boiled Tapioca and made it into Bhurji. Duck eggs will be more tastier if used. Here I have used chicken eggs.
