1. In a vessel, boil the water, and add the chopped and washed tapioca pieces. Close with a lid, and cook in high flame for about 45 mins or until the tapioca is very well cooked and becomes soft.

2. Meanwhile, boil the milk and allow it to cool. 

3. Now, in a blender, add 1 cup of the tapioca pieces, 1 cup of milk, jaggery, and grind well until the tapioca is well ground.

4. Add little milk and pulse a few times. Repeat this step until the whole milk is used. Test for sweetness too.

5. When the perfect consistency is reached, pour the smoothie into the serving glasses, and garnish with brown sugar and crushed cashews. That's it!!

NOTE:

-----------

1. Instead of jaggery, you can also add brown sugar/ honey.

2. You can also add soaked dates/banana for sweetness. But it will make the Smoothie an even more heavy food. So I made it simple.

3. Tapioca can be replaced with potato/sweet potato.

4. Milk can be replaced with coconut milk.

5. Dried seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cucumber seeds too can be used for any garnishing.
