PAN AKARA(BEAN CAKE)AND HOME MADE GUINEA CORN PAP

Good day food lover😊

I guess your week is going fine.Over the weekend I won a giveway from Kenyen farm's warrI yayyy😊 I litre of pure honey and 1kg of ijebu garri,neatly processed and packed.I was so exicted about the honey because it's pure,natural and undiluted.

This morning I made akara(bean cake)and pap for the family.The pap is home made,made by mum with my assistance.Akara is so easy to make,gone are the days when one has to soak beans for hours, peel off the skin and blend before making akara or moi moi but now all you need is bean flour,just pick your beans,blend dry and store in a dry container.With this method you can make akara and moi moi any time of the day.I always add a twist to mine,i   shallow fry instead of deep fry,this method is healthier.so let get cooking......

INGREDIENTS 
-Bean flour
-Onion chopped
-Scotch bonnet(red pepper) chopped or blended dry pepper
-Green pepper chopped (optional)i always use it because it gives it a nice flavour
-Crayfish blended
-Nutmeg (optional)
-Seasoning cubes(maggi or knorr) salt and of course water.

PREPARATION 
-Mix the flour with the chopped veggies, spices and water
-stir all together,making sure the mixture isn't too thick or watery just ok,add seasoning cubes make sure you taste before adding the  salt so it wouldn't be too salty.
-Heat up a pan,add little vegetable oil  for frying.
-Heat it up,with a spoon scoop little at a time till it covers the pan.when it is golden brown at the bottom turn to the other side,continue till you are done.

FOR THE PAP
-Boil water,once its ready,mix the pap with little water,not too thick or watery,then pour the boiled water over it till it become thick.stir with a spoon to avoid lumps.serve with milk,honey or sugar accompanied with the akara.

And that's my method of preparing akara(bean cake) It can be eaten with pap,bread or even garri.i had mine with pap and kenyen farms pure honey,it was delicious.
