your first flaw is that you decided to take the easy path. Is that powdered beans I see there? and you want to achieve the same results as those who grind their own beans with mortar. It really don't work that way.

I do make perfect and delicious akara. use those fresh big
brown beans not the packaged powered one.
step 2) peel the skin and soak it for at least one hour.Then wash and sieve it.
step 3) add enough Onion's,then pepper ,crayfish then grind it.
step4) add salt only u don't need maggi to give it natural taste, the fry in deep oil.
NOTE.:The secret of sweet akara is the type of beans u use,the period u use in soaking it in water and enough onions you use.

For me to make akara as good as this;i guess I'll need a 3month training

It's very possible, I do it often. Just add a teaspoon of baking powder to about 500grams of beans, add a little water into it. For the spices, I like to use suya spice in it and a little of extra pepper and seasoning.

Mix everything very well preferably with an egg beater and use table spoon to dispense into hot oil, note akara fries better when deep fried.

This should taste better than what you have up there.
Good luck!
