Havent had fried plantain in months. I almost came from the taste of it.

datalossvictim1:
Not at all honey

Ingredients: onions, garlic, bell peppers, puréed tomato, olive oil, salt, pepper or whatever spice you like.

Method
I fried diced onion, peppers, garlic and puréed tomato all together for 3mins. Added a little water to reduce purée thickness.
Allowed it to simmer for 10 mins. Added salt and other spices. Allowed it to stay on for I think 3 mins.
Thats it Hun. But you can definitely add your own mix to it.

The last time I ate akara that looked like these was back in 2002. My neighbours' maid used to prepare it every saturday then. It's usually smooth & sexy compared to the kind I buy across my street! Those ones usually have some kinda skin disease & u hear this 'distubin sound' while chewing....argghhh!..[ if u know what I mean ]. I still do love my akara tho...but I prefer these kinds. I really don't know why the sellers' can't be like these.

Why the disparity? Are these ones [ urs & my neighbour's ], prepared in a different way? I'm thinking...perhaps these ones re deep fried, requires alota money....i don't know really

bebe2:
Akara is generally deep fried.

I think I know d one u mean,
They are made with red oil.

The skin is thick and very crunchy.
I dont like them either they peel the roof of my mouth.

HeyChiko:

Yeah crunchy is the word..

sheunfemix:

HeyChiko:
