INTRODUCTION

Hello great steemians out there! It's been a long time. How are you doing? Hope you're enjoying every bit of your time. I'm here to present my entry on food challenge week #141// for kids and parents organized by @steemkidss. Let me thank him for giving me this opportunity to teach my steemians how my snack is prepared. Are you ready? Let's start.

Step 1

I am posting on how to prepare bean cake. The first step in preparing bean cake is that you get your beans ready. The quantity needed depend on the number of people who will eat it after preparation. For me, I bought my beans (2 cups), N1200 in Nigerian currency, equivalent to 4 steems.

Step 2

The next step in preparing this cake is that you wash and soak the beans in water for two hours for it to absorb water and for easy removal of the outer shell. Then, it is filtered to separate the chaf completely from the beans. This process also help to remove any sand that may be in the beans.

Step 3

The next step is to grind the washed beans, using your grinder. At this stage, you can add fresh pepper to spice up the flavour while grinding. After grinding, it's time to put your grinding beans in morter to blend it with onions, salt and a little water so as to compact it naturally. All these, is to give an inviting aroma when finishing.

Step 4

The next step is to put your groundnut oil in a fry pan and place it on fire for some minutes to get the oil hot, ready for frying. Here, you can use your hands or a small spoon to cut the desired quantity into the frying pan to make them look colourful. Occasionally, keep turning the beans cake in the frying pan so as not to burn . It takes about seven to ten minutes for it to be done.

Step 5

The last step is remove your cake from the pan using big sieved spoon into a siever. This makes the oil from the cake drain till it dries off. After few minutes, your bean cake is ready.

A bean cake is very rich in protein as well as fat and oil. This food can be eaten as a breakfast with custard or pap. It can also be served with tea in the morning. Bean cake is very commonly eaten in the southern part of Nigeria. I enjoy eating it in the morning when I am going to relax mostly at the weekends.
