I went to meet My Yoruba Nigerian Girlfriend yesterday and had fried a bowl of beans Akara for Me that she gave me at the parking lot. I gave her a hug that almost squeezed the life out of her 😄 Sissie Yemmisie only 6 made it home. I can eat bean Akara everyday I love it so much!!!!! Anything bean for Me!. You make it look so simple to do. I never get is right. It's hit and numerous misses for Me🙈🙈 Thanks again for sharing this simple but very tasty bites. More Blessings. The bowls are beautiful! Mom and daughter bonding time. Nice.

Not "karaka" though 😄😄😄 kids are the cutest. Before my son could speak properly, he used to call shawarma "shayaman". His first milkshake was homemade and some days later, he was asking for banana juice 😄😄. We had no idea because we had never bought nor given him banana juice till I was sitting around one day and it suddenly occurred to me, "oh my God, there was banana puree in the milkshake that's why he called it banana juice".

You missed out on advising what type of oil to use for the frying? Also, I have come to love Akara seasoned with ginger. A ghanaian woman introduced it to me.

In Brasil this is called Acarajé. The Afro Brasilians clearly brought this to Brasil through some of their ancestors that were Nigerian.

Thank you so much! Made akara for the first time and it came out perfect. I have always hated trying it cause of all the work involved with peeling the beans but your style worked perfectly.

📝📝 Thanks Sisi Yemmie, I have jotted things down.😊 I love the idea of meal planning, asides preparations, you won't take too much time deciding or even staying in the kitchen, that's really amazing 👏 Also, Sisi Yemmie, I forgot to ask from your last video where you made pasta, could you kindly add to your next cook video where you bought those pots? I really love them as it seems they are non-stick, thank you. Nice video and tips! I love akara too, will sure try this out.❤️🌹

Thank you for all you do ,I am enjoying your video. when ever I try making Akara, it comes out flat, odd shapes , and burnt, each time I put a new scoop of beans into the frying pan the new scoop floats and attach to the other ones in the frying pan. what a mess! . do you have to press out the oil , I use peanut oil
