Cholesterol reduction, Increament of a healthy gut, and it could also decrease the level of blood sugar in the body. Now here is bean cake and it was made from beans.
Here,we call it Akara and lije I said, the English nane is Bean cake. Its a really delicious and nutritious food. Now to make Akara, you need to get your beans, depending on the amount you want.
Get it into a bowl and soak it for about 10 - 15 minutes to make it softer. Next thing is for you to use your hand or small mortal and pestle to peel off the skin and bring out only the inner which is the whitish part.
After doing that, wash well and blend the beans and make it very blended and fluffy.
Make sure you add just a little water to the blender so that it won't become watery and you might not be able to use that for akara again.
So now, use your turning stick to turn it well, add your salt to taste, seasoning and pepper and keep turning. Then you get your vegetable oil on the fire and when it heats well, use a spoon to put the mixture one after the other in the oil.
Make sure you do not put too much at a time in the frying pan so it can fry well. After few minutes, turn to the other side as it must have been turning brown. You can use your spoon to press it down so it can fry well. And there you have it, Akara is set. It caj be enjoyed with bread, pap, custard, oats and the likes and can alsobbe eaten alone. I hope you try yours out.
