How to make Akara with Bean Flour – Best Method

Akara is a bean paste or bean flour fritter that is deep-fried. It’s also known as Kosai, Bean Cake, Akara Chips, Acaraje, or Beanballs, and it’s typically made with black-eyed peas (beans), but it can be made with a variety of beans.

In Nigeria, akara is a popular breakfast meal. It can be eaten as a snack or as a meal, and when served as a dish, it is commonly paired with pap (corn starch paste) or custard. It can also be used to make a vegetarian “burger” or a sandwich filler.

These delectable bean cakes are sold from large frying pans filled with oil on street corners.

If the Akara seller is good, there will undoubtedly be a line of people waiting to buy the hot Akara first thing in the morning.

Soft Akara is best served warm or hot and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Table of Contents

Dry Bean’s flour (Powder)

Onion

Salt

Pepper (Optional)

Oil for frying raw Eggs (Optional)

Oil for deep frying

Firstly, throw the flour into a mixing bowl and gradually add water while stirring until you achieve a thick consistency (thick paste to enable it to form a ball).

Secondly, unlike moi moi batter, Akara batter should be thick. Pour the thick paste into a food processor.

Then, add chopped onion and a little water to enable smooth blending. I added a cup of diced onion to this quantity.

Fourthly, blend until the onion is completely combined with the beans flour. This mixing also aids in the incorporation of air into the beans.

Now, season with salt to taste. If you want to see chopped fresh pepper bits, mix them in with the salt.

After that, scoop with a deep spoon and fry in a low-to-medium-heat oil that isn’t too heated. If you heat the oil too much, the beans flour akara will brown and burn before they are fully cooked.

Carefully, keep an eye on the pot and turn it over when one side begins to brown. Keep adjusting the heat as well. When it becomes too hot, you lower the temperature. When the saucepan starts to fry too slowly, gradually increase the heat until the cooking is completed.

Lastly, serve your akara balls made with beans powder with hot pap, toast, or custard.

Now you know How to make Akara with Bean Flour
