Kugan, thanks a lot. Val/Vall, what language is that? I mean is it really English...? I saw that in many sites and thought it was an Indian dialect or something. There was one site which said that mochchai was cattle feed and that it requires 2 changes of water while cooking to remove cyanide Well, it is true about the cattle feed and I do change the cooking water atleast 3 times when cooking beans...but the cyanide is a bit ..We use this bean or black eyed peas for Olan. Nobody has died so far... Somebody in the US wanted to know the English name...

Dear Shoba sorry for the late reply.
Well I have not heard about cynide in motchai.
As far as I know, beans are low in fat and loaded with nutrients.
They are loaded with flatulence producing enzymes.
So one has to change the water about 3 to 4 times while soaking the beans. pouring off the water helps to get rid of the indigestible complex sugars that create gas in your intestine.
I cook this motchai about 3 to 4 times in a month.
As dried fish curry, puli curry, vendi and motchai puli mandi
motchai with potato prattle and also as sundal.
I make it a point to get fresh motchai from India to cook my ponggal kulambu.
Please visit Kugan's kitchen, where I will be posting these recipes soon.
Do not be scared so enjoy your motchai.
