Directions
Enjoy warm as a snack or party appetizer. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lime for extra zing. For a more authentic Brazilian flavor, use polvilho azedo (sour tapioca flour) for a tangier puff. Adjust chili heat to your liking. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispness.
