Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Not "karaka" though 😄😄😄 kids are the cutest. Before my son could speak properly, he used to call shawarma "shayaman". His first milkshake was homemade and some days later, he was asking for banana juice 😄😄. We had no idea because we had never bought nor given him banana juice till I was sitting around one day and it suddenly occurred to me, "oh my God, there was banana puree in the milkshake that's why he called it banana juice".

In Brasil this is called Acarajé.
The Afro Brasilians clearly brought this to Brasil through some of their ancestors that were Nigerian.

You missed out on advising what type of oil to use for the frying?

Also, I have come to love Akara seasoned with ginger. A ghanaian woman introduced it to me.

I am learning more about my Yoruba roots that go back to Nigeria. We make a dish similar to this. I can see how the traditions are even in what I know. Amazing. I can't wait to make these!

Thank you so much! Made akara for the first time and it came out perfect. I have always hated trying it cause of all the work involved with peeling the beans but your style worked perfectly.

Sis Yemisi.U are blessed. Tried out my akara this weekend, it came out great for the first time. Thank you for the tip about putting enough oil in the pan. 😘😘

I feel like grabbing some from screen, so yummy 😋 those plates are so nice. It's always Saturday morning meal.

Only tatashe peppers, no habaneros?It would be very helpful if you told us how many minutes to blend for and fry, the temperature of the oil, the size of the spoon(is that a big serving spoon or just an ordinary tablespoon)?

These bowls are beautiful. The Ankara is super duper Tiara calling kakara.
