Waoo. My brother you are a very good cook. God bless you bro.

Thanks for the vid! So nice seeing a man in the kitchen x

Haitians have a fritter dish called accra, l but we add cod to it but not so much scotch bonnet. These are the typical ingredients. 1 lb malanga (root vegetable) 1 c black eyed peas (not dried) 1 tsp salt to taste 1 tsp black pepper to taste 1 scallion 1 shallot or 1/2 onion 1 clove garlic 1/4 green bell pepper 1 scotch bonnet pepper (habanero pepper) 1 egg beaten 1 tsp flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 2 c vegetable oil Its so nice to see how connect we still are to the motherland.

Your teaching have turn me to a professional since I have been watching it I can bost of cooking by my slf like never befor ,thnks so much.

The Akara was so yummy my fist time ever to prepare delicious Akara OMG thx very much God bless u

well done that is a different method to how my mum does it. We leave the beans over night then We blend the onions and pepper with the past.

My aunt makes the best akara. They always come out a similar shape and I'm always in awe. Perfectly cooked and all. I don't know how she does it. It's like she puts a mold around them to make them come out the same shape.I know she doesn't but wow. I'm going to try your way. It's been long since I've made proper akara, ok I always made horrible akara lol. Never proper, but hopefully by paying close attention to heat of oil and putting it on medium it will be better I think I'm going to make roasted plantain and akara today. Simple and delicious.

Very enlightening....just fried some nice akara few minutes ago with the detailed information contain in the video. Thanks so much Sir

I made Akara foe the first time and what delicious disater! had I read the comments and not used can beans which I rarely use they may worked out better. because I am not one to waste, Upon adding a 1tbspn flour I managed to get some mushy seriously dark akara cakes. I enjoyed them with sliced tomato. next time dry beans soaked then follow your instructions. rotfl! I want to impress my Nigerian auntie (a super awesome senior I have adopted in my life from my volunteer work). thanks for sharing

Oh my goodness! These has reminded me of those Akara on the Benin Ore road.. Now am going to jump into my kitchen and make this for the weekend.. Thanks alot for this well detailed video it really has made me realise how much I have missed home... Welldone

I have made this a couple of times I put crayfish in the batter though I don't eat out of restaurants for lots of reasons that is why I collect recipes and pin them to Pinterest a lot easier then actually printing recipes I was cooking German food first because my parents came to USA from Germany then I learned how to cook American dishes that is popular in the southern part of USA btw they are of African origin even some are so narrow minded they won't admit it sadly I later married a Pakistani and can cook better then he can he knows it too I even make Mexican and Puerto Rican dishes too and I love Chinese food I have a friend irl who is from Cameroon and her auntie makes best puff puff and was telling me how to make it and I tried Ethiopian food and love it so much I started making it too I always had a lifelong curiosity of what people in other cultures ate

I have been following your videos. Your such a wonderful chef.kudos to you.

Here in Brazil (bahia) this is a traditional food and is called acarajé, we split in half and stuffed with vatapá, caruru and pepper, the acarajé pasta has a harder consistency and we fry it in palm oil. Thanks for the video make more traditional foods from mother africa.

What kind of beans can I use, this looks delicious by the way.

You cook with small space small utencils small pots but at the end of the day the food comes out the best.

Very nice!

Yummy

Wow how which my husband can cook like this

love this

It reminds me offish cakes?

do you measure before or after soaking/peeling the beans?

Thank you for sharing..

Can you try making this out of ripe plantains to to see how it turns out use the same other ingredients but instead of beans try plantain

Good teacher

Good job

Good job.

Is moimoi a main dish or snack? what of koose or akara

Iam haitian its look so much like our akra except ours are made with malanga or maniok

Wow

Great

Hi, What is make of your blender please?

what weasures will i put if i want the akara to be crunchy

i like this vegan recipe.

lovely

Chaii delicious

Do you also soak beans overnight??

Sir do you know how many watts your blender is ? Am trying to figure out if mine would be able to blend 🤔

i mean what measure will i put if i want the akara to be crunchy

yum yum

Very nutritious !

I think most our haitian ancesters are from Nigeria

It's 9 in the morning, why am I watching this? More importantly, where can I get me some beancakes??

Here in Brazil we have a very similar dish called Acarajé

Is there akara made out of pease ? Because when I lived in Africa I used to take it in it but now I don't know how to make them as I miss em so much

hello did you cook the beans ?

Is the 10 minutes stirring really nesesery? isn't the 5 minutes blending enough?

pls can I use grounded beans also?

hello...are the beans pre-cooked before blending?

Can be made from canned - already cooked then - beans (kidney, red, or white etc.)? Thanks

You can see why your Akara is not round and looked unattractive. After soaking and peeling off the shaft from the beans, you will need to soak again in water for about 20 minutes. This allows the beans to be very soft and easy to blend (You do not need to put any water again as you did). After blending the beans with all ingredients, you allow the blended bean to simmer for few more minutes and stir for few minutes before frying in low heat oil. Who wants to eat Akara with onions puffing out of the beans?

Please I want to learn how to prepare pankiso

can you recommend a good blender that works well with grinding beans?

AKARA IS NIGERIAN TOO? WOW IT IS TYPICALLY AFRICAN THEN GREAT I AM HOOK ON YOUR STYLE A SLIDE DIFFERENCE WE MAKE A SEPARATE DIPPING SAUCE WITH ONIONS AND HOT PEPPER ON THE SIDE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF WEST AFRICA THANKS .

In India we call is Wada and Pakoda.

Y don't you use a deep pot instead of a frying pan

you don't need much SALT

I've tried on a couple of times to fry akara, but what I get is crumbs. What could have possibly go wrong? Please help! Thanks in advance.

you don't put any flour or egg in the beans before you fry them ?

nice video but next time try to use a bigger pot

you dont have to peal the beans , whats the point?

wouldn't it be easier to cook the beans beforehand?

Love ur cooking but this Ankara is a no no for me. That's too much salt, no need for Maggi plus it should be deep fry.

The salt was to much that’s why u don’t add the maggi don’t play smart bro

Can I use green chili if I want pls

Always use a deep frying pot to achieve the best and watch ur salt

There is no word like pepperish It is peppery

I'm sorry, but are you Igbo.. Yoruba, etc?? (I'm not completely sure if there are any more, cause I'm not all to well educated, when it comes to Nigeria)
