Akara is the most popular Nigerian bean cake prepared with black eyed peas. This fried cake are quite famous among the Nigerians as they can be consumed for breakfast or snacks. This cakes are dangerously addictive and you cant just stop with one.If you make this crispy fritters you wont just stop yourself having them. As i told earlier Akara is made with soaked and deskinned black eyed peas blended to a puree and fried in oil with chopped onions and peppers. Most of the akaras are prepared either by blending onions and peppers together with the deskinned peas or else both chopped onions and peppers are added later to the blended puree too. I tried the second way and they came out simply fabulous.
