You tried but that's fio-fio and achicha and not beans. It's peculiar to Nsukka people.

Intro:
I'm just a normal guy that can cook what I can eat. I just picked interest in cooking when I saw fellow guys preparing sumptuous delicacies.

Guys can cook nowadays o. Well I'll rate myself 20% when it comes to cooking because I don't have the required experience. I've eaten more food that I didn't cook than the one I cooked.

I bumped into the image below on Facebook and decided to try an improvised version since I can't get access to the main ingredients. I'll be brief as possible but I've written the full story on my lil blog below

I'm just a JJC in cooking, make Una no laugh me o �

U ended with nice looking food but what u cooked doesn't in anyway resemble or is what u saw. That one u saw is called Achicha, native food of Nsukka people very delicious that is the favourite food of many people. It is not cooked with normal white beans. The beans used in cooking it is called Agbgb, and it those small beans. And u don't add plantine or any leaf to it. Other ingredients u listed is added. U ended up cooking plantine and beans just like yam and beans and not Achicha.

Awww not surprised.
I used s6edge+ and till date it's the best camera on any mobile device I have used so far.
currently using the a52 and it's good but my s6edge+ experience beats it.
Only one device I have used previously came close ( BlackBerry key1 LE)

It's Achicha,
they used a beans called Agbugbu otherwise known as fiofio(looks more like peageon pea, u can also use peagon pea, that's the akidi u know)
then the second major ingredient is dried coaco yam (dried Ede) that's pounded and made to look like gritty sand
Then red oil
Onions
Yellow Pepper(for the flavour) and
Ukpaka
Very simple Ingredients.

Ok.
Yes fiofio is what Edo people call Ukpele.

I love that achicha like kilode... But in my place we don't use this beans. We simply use nchuanwu ( scentleaf).

Nice.
