Ingredients you need for Akara

1 cup of Beans (black-eyed or brown beans)
2 habanero peppers (also chilli peppers)
1 medium onion
Seasoning to taste

Ground Crayfish (Optional)
Vegetable Oil for frying


Tools you will need:

Blender

Directions

  • Grind the beans with your blender making sure you add as little water as possible. The water should be just enough to move the blades of your blender.
  • When blended, pour into a bowl
  • Add thinly sliced Rodo pepper into the mix
  • Add salt to your taste and stir again.
  • Add in your crayfish
  • To fry the Akara, scoop the mixture with a table spoon and slowly pour this into the oil. Dipping the spoon a little bit into the oil helps reduce spatter.
  • Fry the underside till brown and flip to fry the top side too.
  • When the Akara balls are brown all over, remove and place in a sieve lined with paper towels.
