Open the lid when it is cool and take out the tapioca pieces carefully. Serve them as a snack. Cut the left over tapioca into small pieces and keep aside.

In a non-stick pan, heat oil and add the whole spices. Then add the onions and curry leaves. Fry till golden brown in colour. Add the ginger garlic paste and fry for few seconds.
