Here is a traditional Kerala dish made using Taro or Colocasia – Chembu Kuzhachathu or Smashed Taro. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, Malanga root can be used in this recipe instead of Taro and they taste almost the same. This dish was made my mother-in-law and the picture was taken long back. 
Pearl Tapioca/Tapioca Balls/Sago is a granular form of processed Tapioca starch. Sago is known as ‘Sabudana‘ in Hindi and ‘Chawwari‘ in Malayalam. Pearl Tapioca is used in many Indian cuisines. Though Yuca/Tapioca (Kappa) is widely consumed in Kerala, Sago is sparingly used in Kerala cuisine. I don’t remember having any dishes made with Pearl Tapioca 
When my in-laws came to visit us, we would often explore the aisles of a Latin-American Grocery Store for different stem and root tubers. My father-in-law found these Malanga roots during one such visit. Malanga is also known as Yautia, Cocoyam, Eddo, Coco, Tannia, Japanese Potatoes and so on. Malanga Root or Yautia Malanga |
