This snack is typical of Igbos in the Eastern part of Nigeria and the combo is really appetizing if you want something to snack on especially in hot weathers

Steps

1

Peel cassava (remove the back) and cut into big slices
2

Wash and add into a cooking pot, add water to the level of the cassava in the pot and cook for 25-30minutes
3

Once cooked remove from the water and allow cool.
4

Using your grater(the part for chips) or a clean knife, slice thinly in long strips until all the cassava are cut (if it's sticky to the blades, dab blades with palm oil to stop it from being sticky)
5

Add all the sliced cassava into a big bowl and add water way above the cassava this time. Allow sit overnight.
6

By morning; wash the cassava thoroughly with clean water(you'll notice it's slimy) until it's not slimy anymore and the water is now crystal clear
7

Break up and remove the shells of the coconut, then wash thoroughly

Serve coconut with the tapioca snack in cold water and enjoy
