The Making Of Akara






Hello Everyone.... Our post for this week should have come in earlier, apologies for the delay.

Today i am going to take you through how to make akara.

Ingredients.

Beans ( brown beans)
Rodo (habanero pepper)
Tatashe (red bell pepper)
Onions
Salt
Vegetable Oil



Do you know there are two methods of removing the skin of the beans? You have the hand method and blender method. Hand method is when you soak the beans and start rubbing them between your hands to peel skin  after which you rinse of the shaft and get ready for blending. If you soak the beans for long it makes it more difficult to peel skin therefore, it is advisable to peel off by rubbing beans between your palm once it is soaked .

Blender method is when you put the beans and add  lil water in the blender for like 3 to 5 mins and turn it on. This wouldnt blend the beans yet. It will peel off the skin . You can go ahead to seive and remove shafts from beans.

*The Making

* Blend peeled beans including the pepper and onions with little water. Making sure it is very thick.

* Pour blended beans in a bowl and stir for about 5  to 10 minutes continiously after adding a little salt to taste.

P.s when you stir it makes the akara soft and more flophy.

* Pour vegetable oil in pot/deep frying pan and heat it up then scoop the paste of beans made with a small oval shaped deep spoon.

* Spoon the paste into the hot oil, one spoon at a time and ensure you flip at intervals  until it is golden brown.

*Remove akara balls and place in a seive or  kitchen saviet/ tissue paper.


Serve with Pap Custard or bread.

How to Make Fried Rice

 Hi Everyone, Fried rice is a cousin to jollof rice as we all know and it is also served side by side jollof rice in most Nigerian parties. However, most of the time when fried rice is served it doesnt taste as good as the jollof rice.  Do you know why? It is because it should be cooked in batches and not in mass like jollof rice in other to retain the taste and firm look.

Personally i really dont like taking fried rice in parties. Jollof is the major Key.  Fried rice is one of the most widely eaten Nigerian food. The process of making fried rice is a bit complicating but w...
