Starchy substance used to make puddings (7)

I believe the answer is:

tapioca

(Other definitions for tapioca that I've seen before include "course" , "Sago pudding" , "Starchy dish" , "Pudding from the cassava root" , "Substance from cassava used to thicken puddings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
