MAKING BEANS PUDDING (MOIN MOIN) WITH BEANS POWDER

Hello Hive,
I will be sharing with us the procedure of making Beans pudding popularly known as Moin Moin in Yoruba land.

Moin-Moin or Moi Moi is a Nigerian steamed bean pudding made from a mixture of washed and peeled black-eyed beans, onions and fresh ground red peppers. It is a protein-rich food that is a stapl in Nigeria. In Ghana and Sierra Leone, it is commonly known as "Alele" or "Olele". It is usually taken with Hausa koko or Bread.

We should know that Moin-Moin is made from beans which are very nutrient-rich. They are a fabulous source of vegetarian protein and fibre, two nutrients that help you stay full and satisfied. The protein and fibre in beans also temper the rise in blood sugar that occurs after a meal, which can help stabilize mood. The fibre in beans also helps keep you regular (every ½ cup serving adds another 7g of fibre to you daily total). Beans are low in fat and a good source of magnesium and potassium, nutrients that work together to lower blood pressure and keep your heart and blood vessels healthy.

Moi Moi (or Moin Moin) is that good, and healthy! This delicious delicacy is highly rich in protein and other essential nutrients that play an important role in our bodies.

Add your bullion cubes, salt and seasoning spice to taste

Stir together and mix well. At this point, you can choose to garnish with egg, fish, chicken, turkey or beef but I won't be using any

Then you portion it bit by bit into a nylon, leaves or tin but I will be using the nylon process.
After portioning it into the nylon then you tie a knot, not too firm and start placing it inside the already boiling water
