[NOV]

can anyone tell me what is the tamil name for Matki?...I think it's also known as moth beans...

yes matki, muth and moth are the name of same dal known in english as tepary beans.this dal is brownish grren from outside and yellow from inside.
This is a very healthy and delicious dish from the state of Maharashtra (located on the southwest coast of India). Matki are small tan/brown colored beans, which are oblong in shape. They are very common in Indian cuisine and are also known as moath beans. They are a high source of protein and a main staple in many vegetarian diets. Generally matki can be eaten both sprouted and as whole beans. They can be found very easily in any Indian grocery store.

It is best described as small brown eyed beans or moth beans, or chinna payaru (The dark brown variety) in Tamil!
