Yes, I served in Benin and would buy this every Saturday. I finished my service 2016 and have been looking for the perfect crunchy Akara recipe. Happy to finally see this 🎉
Exactly. As a Benin girl, I remember eating crunchy akara growing up. We would always get those from the roadside. I kept wondering why I haven't been able to get the crunch anywhere else. It's the palm oil.
I can tell it is very crunchy. That's how Benin people fry akara. I love it
Yes it was very crunchy. Thanks

Where to get the hand blender
You can get it from amazon
What does it smell while frying in red palm oil?
Red oil is usually smoky when hot
Can we add maggi or just salt
No Maggi, just salt
There is how to prepare the oil so it does not smell or sleep in the mouth? Please help with that.
Heat up a bit before frying
What type of blender is that,?
It's a hand blender
Please if i use vegetable oil will it still come out crushy, i don't palm oil akara
No, but if you stir it very well it will turn out a little crunchy.
So it’s only salt, onion and pepper needed for akara?
Yes it is
It’s not crunchy like the one Edo people make.
Do you know what makes it so crunchy?
