Hello steemfood lovers in Africa. I am so pleased to be a partaker in this contest to promote my favourite dessert that is being organized by our amiable African Representative @ngoenyi. Thank also to @steemfood for this community and to @steemit for this platform.

In my blog today I will be sharing on my favourite dessert which is Akara

Beans ball popularly known as Akara in Nigeria

Akara is high in protein due to the beans content. It is very good for dessert because it is a hand meal. Dessert is taken after appetizer and mean dish. You don't need to go out from the comfort of your house to get the ingredients, they are can all be gotten within the kitchen.

Ingredients

Ingredients	Quantity
Beans	4 cups
Onions 2	big ball
Pepper	taste
Salt	to taste
Crayfish	2table spoon
Seasoning cubes	to taste

Procedures

1. Soak the beans for about 10 minutes and remove the back by washing it
2. Put it in a bow and add your onions, cray fish and pepper and take to the grinding meal
3. Empty it to your Moulter and add salt and seasoning cube and keep stirring until it becomes fluffy.

After grinding

1. Set your pot on fire and add your oil. Deep fry for about few seconds for each side until it turns brown.

My empty pot, I used pot to fry so that the quantity of oil I will use will not be much.

Yesterday was our meet up so I went with the Akara so that we can eat together, our meet up was scheduled for 3pm but was interrupted by the rain that started before 3pm to 5pm. So we now meet at our coordinators place @peachyladiva.

See our mouth

Akara ball is my desired dessert because it is so easy to be prepared, anyone can prepare it as long as you wish to. It is more hygienic when you prepare it at home as we need to be watchful over what we consume. I used palm oil to fry, this made it taste more local than the conventional one that is fried with groundnut oil. My ever loving mother in law prepared the palm oil so I am so sure of the purity. You can also use Shea butter to fry depending on the taste you want to get.
Akara ball is fluffy inside and crispy outside.

You can give it a try especially with palm oil
I so love the taste of the locally fried Akara with palm oil.
