How to make Akara with Bean Flour

June 2024 · 2 minute read

Akara (Bean cake) is a common dish in Nigeria. From soaking to the peeling of beans and then blending, the process of making Akara can be very tedious. The desire to eat the Akara is no longer there by the time you are done, and you might even feel exhausted. Even though the process of making it is strenuous, it is a prevalent part of the typical Nigerian breakfast. It is commonly eaten with Bread (Nigerian sandwich), Pap (Ogi), custard or any other pap mixture.

However, what if you live where you can’t buy beans, or you simply don’t want to go through the stress of making it from scratch, and you can’t buy Akara at the next street corner? Then, Bean flour is a solution to this problem. Just like yam can be blended into powder to make Amala, so can beans be grounded into a powder which cuts out the most stressful step in the preparation of Nigerian Akara.
