How to make akara with red beans
Red beans akara balls are delicious. Red beans is so nutritious, I tried to eat more but cooking them takes them and can really consume gas. I tried making akara balls, they took long to cook.
Longer than akara made with brown or white beans. Some people enjoyed it but I prefer brown or white beans akara. This pictures have been with me for some months now, I didn’t
want to share because I didn’t enjoy the akara much but decided today to just share incase others like the red akara.
We have homemade akara balls on the blog. There is also akara recipe by Rubynnia and many others by me and other blog kindhearted blog readers.
