I love the fact that cuisine is revelatory of one's history; Nigerians eat this same thing!!! It goes to show that we are family, no matter the borders between us.

Hi, I am Nigerian. I love what you do. It's also called kosai in the northern part of Nigeria and akara in southern Nigeria.

@lenabansah4582 11 ай бұрын

In Ghana it's called kosee. It's a Northern Ghanaian dish so I'm not surprised Northern Nigeria has a similar name

Nice peeling system- Also remind your viewers to recycle the sieve water not to be wasted. To use a clean water at the end of removing beans skins. Beans peeling is water consuming. Encourage water conservation in every part of the world. Your end product looks delicious.
