HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS AFRICAN SNACKS(BEAN CAKE) AKARA.

There are many food s and cuisine in the world but as an African man to the core i really am proud of the type of food we eat in Africa.Not only does Our food have their health benefits ,some of them are really very easy to prepare just like the one i am refering to now: The AKARA(Bean Cake).This is product gotten from the beans we aet all over the world it is a kind of food or snack that goes with any drink and can be eaten at any occassion or any period of time;morning ,noon or night.It goes with pap(ogi).it goes with bread,And it can be eaten alone.Most importantly it is very easy to make.

The Recipe:

1.Getyou beans depending on the number of guest you want to make for.But at least get between 250g/llb-500g/llb.

2.1-2 cloves of onions .

3.Some fresh pepper(depending on how peperish you want you bean cake).

4.Some clean water (out of which you will boil some for mixing)

5.Some oil will be needed for frying(either the palm oil or the normal oil:vegetable oil,groundnut oil etc.)

6.Some salt .

Method:

Soak the beans in water for at least 7 minutes ,wash the beans removing all the covering(skin) on the beans till you get the white part of the beans.Grind the beans with the onions and pepper until it is smooth or you slice the onions after grinding depending on your preference.Place the oil on the burner,heat it until some smoke appears, then use a spoon (either a table spoon or the kitchen spoon depending on how big you want it). Scoop the mixture into the oil to make a ball and let it fry until it is golden brown in colour.drain the oil from the bean cake either by using an absorbent or something else.

Then it is ready to serve,alone or otherwise.
