Instructions
Cooking lima beans: If using dry beans, the soak them overnight and pressure cook the next day upto 1 whistle or boil in water until tender. For frozen beans, heat 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil, add the beans and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the water and keep aside.
Grind coconut and split roasted gram to a coarse powder and keep aside. Heat oil in a frying pan, splutter mustard, cumin seeds and curry leaves. Sprinkle asafoetida powder, add finely minced green chili, garlic and onions. Saute them for few minutes. Add the cooked beans along with turmeric and salt. Now add the coconut roasted gram powder and fry for couple of minutes. They tend to dry out soon, so the moment they blend well with the beans, switch off. Serve hot with rice and rasam.

is this what is called as mochai??? we get it in south during pongal… hard to get in delhi though so i use the dried version… yummyyyyyyy
Hi shalini,
I guess it is not mochai but same family. It's called 'double beans' in south and looks like brownish red in color. quite expensive though but a great delicacy. People take the outer skin and cook. Ok. Bye
