Three months In India. Can’t believe it. It is some change to what I was use to back in Ireland. Every day brings totally new experiences and leads me to unknown places. Last week myself, my husband and our Indian friend Angeli visited the beautiful city of Mangalore on the west coast of India. Lots of Sunshine, nice people and good food. I felt over the moon seating on the balcony, having my breakfast as the gentle warm breeze passed by, pushing the clouds out of the way so the Sun could dry my bones after quite a damp and cold time in Nilgiris. There is beauty in it all, but the Sun is defiantly my first choice.
Breakfast is defiantly my favorite meal, especially if I can take my time and laze about for a bit. I love it sweet most of the time. Always starting with some fresh fruit on an empty stomach followed by something extraordinaire. This recipe I called
Mangalorien spice pud
Ingredients
1/3 cup of tapioca balls soaked overnight
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup of filtered water
3 cardamon pods

Nice and creamy It is ready to be enjoyed. Have it warm as breakfast or chilled as a dessert. It is delicious both ways. This recipe will serve two
Tapioca is a starch extracted from the cassava root. It is a great source of carbohydrates, minerals and fiber. It is easy to digest and also good for improving digestion. It is a food that nourishes the life essence and a great carb option for gluten free dudes smile emoticon
Enjoy!
