I ate this once many years ago and will like to make it for my family but I have no clue (at all), please nairalanders help out if you know how to make it or any other type of akara or any other naija pastries. A lady once told me about an 'akara oloyin (honey fried bean cake), I really wonder how that is, I have even heard of red akara, mung akara even green akara sef, please let's teach our selves some of these delicasies so we can try them out even if not this weekend, any time soon. Thanks. Lalasticlala

Na Akara get dis kain big name.

Na Akara get dis kain big name.

. Brother I just say make I add him surname and maiden name 2geda, akara na chief o, na chairman we suppose dey call am.

Get 2 cups of beans, soak it in water for like 5mins then soft pound it in mortar 4 the easy removal of the seed coat, bring it out from the mortar, put it in the basin and add water enough to cover the beans very well ,u wil notice dt d chaffs are floating on top of d water den get sieve, use it to separate d chaff from d beans by turning the water containing d chaffs into d sieve making sure dt d beans r not entering with the chaff.

When d beans are clean, leave it in the water for like 20mins b4 grinding.

You u can add onions n pepper b4 grinding but if u did not fry it fast the onions will make it to sour.

Now put d grounded beans in ur mortar n turn it 4 some mins n remember ur oil need to be on fire by now, note don't allow d oil to be very hot at this intial time so dt it won't scatter but after adding d balls of akara in d oil u increase ur stove so dt it won't start absorbing oil

Add all d ingredients u wish to use, like ur onion, salt, some add maggi den use ur spoon to dish dem into d hot oil, when one side starts browning u turn d other side n within 5mins or more ur akara will be ready.

U pple should 4gv me oo, I'm not a writer.

U could try using palm oil to fry it instead of vegetable oil
