There are 2 types of petai regularly seen sold. Petai Papan together with Petai Padi. How to differentiate?
Petai Papan is bigger, flatter together with and tastes slightly harder than Petai Padi.
Petai Padi is smaller, has a taller hump together with gives a lighter squelch than Petai Papan.
I personally prefer petai padi, but it’s harder to acquire inwards peeled form. Petai padi unremarkably comes unpeeled, sold past times Malay or aboriginal vendors. I bought mine this fourth dimension RM2 for a bunch of v long pods together with I bought three bunches to peel them myself.
Kitchen tip: Some people abide by that peeled petai bought from moisture markets tend to odour “green”. I was told that it is because the beans were soaked inwards H2O to growth its weight. And fifty-fifty rinsing the beans won’t arrive gustation good. So, afterward peeling, make non wash, together with allow it live exposed to air overnight. This way, the eating experience is nicer. It produces a dainty stinky edible bean that is non besides stinky on the nose, together with is pliable together with crunchy.
