Akara  I think we call it Cala in Liberia. Don't know where we got the name Cala from sef.Some eat it with gravy, pepper sauce, sugar,etc. Its like Doughnuts but round. |

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy  |
| Re: ~ African Snacks & Appetizers ~ by SeanT21(f): 1:29am On Aug 21, 2009 |
mohawkchic: Well, Cala is made from flour, oil, yeast, etc. Its the same way U make doughnuts but the end result is round. I think maybe Cala and Akara is different. |

bamboke: [size=13pt] ~That recipe right there is what we call "Garri Grun-Soup". . Every attempt i made to eat it will leave me w/ heart burn. . .It was popular w/ girls in my school. . everyone decides what ingredients they'll bring & come lunch time,the "Chef" will mix it all together then share. . .Certainly brought back memories!~There is another variation of "Grun-Soup" with Cucumbers. . .Lime,Cayenne pepper & chuncks of Dry fish is added. . I loved the Spicy cucumber combo but w/o the dry fish. . .[/size] |
