It may seem like all I do is eat!
This is akara - one of my favorite Nigerian dishes. I am still working out how to make the perfect 'beanball' but after years of watching my mother I am still unable to recreate that perfect crunchy spicy taste. I think the key lies in having just the right ratio of fluid and black-eye beans, the right amount of oil and the right amount of frying time...easier said than done.
I must have weird tastebuds - because for me this dish is only complete with a bowl of custard! The combination of savoury and sweet is mouthwatering.
My favourite memories...? Why Christmas, of course!
