DeleteBtw, you tried b/c it's not everyone that have got the patience to wash beans, cause it takes so much time.

ReplyDeleteWow. Yummy akara balls. For the crayfish, obviously not for the kids. A mini home mill(grinding machine) is better for a smooth bean paste.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I didn't know the beans had to be soaked again after skinning. I blend immediately and that probably explains why I am yet to nail 'mama chioma Junction' Akara. Thanks
ReplyDeleteLmao
DeletePeeling and soaking overnight is the best thing that has ever happened to akara

ReplyDeleteFasting mode activated..
ReplyDeleteWow is akara that easy
ReplyDeleteI need something like this....food may sweet nah money kill am... Abeg anybody know tomatoe price today for market
ReplyDeleteMaggi cubes,or any other seasoning cubes is a NO!NO! For akara(bean cake)recipe
ReplyDeleteSays who? Your recipe must not be another person's own. Stick to your own if you can't explore. Variety is the spice of life.
DeleteSalt and fresh pepper is enough for akara na... some people even go as far as adding onga seasoning to akara Mschew! *pukes*
DeleteYes you are right as it won't give you that natural taste onlyy moimoi you need Maggi n. Other seasoning for
DeleteThat explains why I 've always preferred roadside akara. I will try it with just salt n pepper. Thanks
DeleteGood looking akara balls,very neat kitchen, detailed preparation. Next time blend the crayfish. Elixir Ray,Anon 11:04 is 100% correct...No to seasoning cubes. This is akara not moimoi. Seasoning cubes sure has nothing to do with variety!!! Talk of adding eggs,crayfish to spice up variety. Or do you add sugar to your bitterleaf soup?Since,variety is the spice of life? We learn from others dear. Take to cooking correction or waka pass jejeli. Food should taste like food jare
DeleteHhmmmmm.....i will go with anon 11:04 biko. No be everything be Maggi Maggi. A friend once corrected my using knoww seasoning cubes(my favourite seasoning) in cooking Edikikong soup. Did I listen? Yes. Did it turn out well? Yesssss...and yummy. Maggi inside akara kwa? Nne,biko chill. Who variety epp?
DeleteOh akara my luv... Choi
ReplyDeletePap and fried beans. Going down as i am typing. Join me if u care for.
ReplyDeleteIn addition,if there is too much water in d blended bean,you can drain d excess water with sieve(sieve meant for yam flour).
ReplyDeleteNice. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh really, I thought you have to turn the the blended beans for like 30mins in a mortar or else it won't swell up. Please I need explanation
ReplyDeleteYes you have to turn it till it swells
DeleteNo need to turn in a mortar when you use the blender. Ensure you soak very well and blend in bits.
DeleteCocoyam porridge n soya milk drink
