Starchy substance from cassava root (7)

I believe the answer is:

tapioca

(Other definitions for tapioca that I've seen before include "Starchy dish" , "Ciao, Pat, have some strange pudding" , "Hard white cassava grains used for puddings" , "Cassava product used for puddings" , "Pudding thickener" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
