Most people run away from using beans flour for MoinMoin but when good quality beans is out of reach, you use the alternative. I've used beans flour for years now and I have no complaints. I usually bake mine but for this recipe, I used the boiling method and sometimes what I miss is the taste that comes with using the traditional leaf method. Other than that, you will achieve a nice MoinMoin with this recipe. Let's get to it.

MoinMoin With Beans Flour
by Dedun O July-29-2016
Most people don't like using beans flour but this works great for me and it's equally delicious.
Ingredients
- 800g Beans flour
- 10 Boiled Eggs
- 200g Smoked Fish and Crayfish
- 2 Bell Peppers
- 2 Onions
- 1/2 cup Palm Oil
- Salt
- 800-1000ml Water
- Seasoning Cubes
Instructions
1. Boil the eggs. Blend the bell peppers and onions (with some/all of the water. Don't make the batter too watery)
2. Add the beans flour and blend till smooth.
3. Pour batter into a bowl and add salt and seasoning cubes. (You can also use stock to season the batter but reduce the amount of water too)
4. Add the fish and boiled eggs. Add the heated palm oil. Stir and check the consistency. (Just like in the video)
5. Divide batter between heat proof bags. Put them in hot water in a pot.
6. Cook till it's done. Takes between 1hour to 1hr.30mins. Add water to the pot before it dries out.
7. It should be soft to touch, don't worry it will harden as it cools.
