Fafa. I live in the Caribbean. I have tried to cook AKARA before but, found it a lot of work re, 'cleaning' beans. You make it seem so simple. Will try, I'm sure, many times. Glad I came onto your site. Thanks, so much. Keep showing US in the diaspora how to cook our ANCESTORS' food. Again Thanks.

The fake accent is what turned me off

[@harlemantoinetterisingfrom4639]

Ok I’m impressed with how you peeled the beans. I’m so excited to please my love.

[@wealthfernandez1606]

Thanks so much for the video. Amazing and heartearming presentation. The kose looks so divine.❤

[@eileenloves4802]

What a fantastic looking recipe! I am vegan and gluten free! So when I clicked on this video I was sure there must be wheat in it to get a food to be so deliciously golden brown and to my surprise this recipe is vegan and gluten free! I will definitely be making this! Thank you so much! I am excited to try it in different dipping sauces!

[@eileenloves4802]

I just got a great idea to try this with chickpeas since I just bought 5 pounds and I would love to make a vegan tzatziki sauce to go with it!

Amazing how in Africa we all kinda eat the same things. Names might be different but still the same recipe...
As a bambara we called that "tomousso"😋

+Siynata Poupée Welcome to my channel. There are similarities in most various African dishes.

[@CountryGirl.64]

Siynata Poupée I am Trinidadian and so many of the foods are the same, some has been modified over the years, but the recipes and intent are the same.

[@whoknows5130]

In Somalia its called Bajia.

[@jahminastephens8026]

Valerie Rawlins same. I’m from NY with Panamanian and African American parents and both sides of my family cook the same foods in different ways and with different names. My hubby is from Trinidad and, as you said, same foods, different names. It’s all to do with being of African descent and ancestry. I can actually trace my father’s ancestry back to Nigeria and my mother’s to Senegal. I love all my people of the African diaspora ❤️

The best method I've found is to soak it in water for 8 mins and pulse it in a blender 3-4 times. It works so well!

Hi Fafa Gilbert...in Kenya we have bhajia with chickpea or green gram flour , spices,onions,coriander, salt, garlic optional and a pepper sauce along with tamarind sauce....😋😋 I will surely try akara style.☺️

[@millyoduro]

fafa, what blender do you use, please dont tell me vitamix

[@datigboman4671]

I love the colours and the use of simple ingredients, with no umami like “maggi” or crayfish Fafa. My only criticism is your batter which I find a bit dense indicated by the fact that it did not float. I have done some research on Akara and the best ones are light and fluffy which you get if you spend some time incorporating air in the mixture and then deep frying it. You missed this step ma which is best done with a whisk.
