How to make Bean Cake
Blend peeled beans with onions, scotch bonnet and water to form a thick batter
To achieve a very fluffy akara, you need to beat it.This can be achieved by using a wooden ladle and turning it clockwise until you achieve a lighter batter. If you have a hand mixer, feel free to use it. Cooking is fun 😉 add salt to taste.
Place a frying pan on medium heat, add about 2 cups of oil and heat till hot. Test the oil by putting a tiny bit of batter in it. The oil should sizzle and batter should float on top, the oil is ready to use Scoop batter in bits to the ready hot oil, reduce the heat and cook on each side till golden brown
Repeat the process till you exhaust the whole batter.
Serve with custard, oats, bread. You can even make Akara burger. It is very delicious
