[@aramatoulayedabo3438]

I 💕 your style of making it it's very simple and straight to the point. In senegal we add baking powder, onion, garlic,ginger, and sugar and blend it with the black eyed peas. I prefer your style because it's like how it's made in cassamance

[@DadasFoodCraveKitchen]

Thank you so much for watching. Appreciate.

[@KeebooVibes]

I finally made this tonight and I am not disappointed.. I live in TENNESSEE love love African dishes. Thanks for sharing.

[@baboucarrjitehbojang881]

It reminds me of my school old days where one can buy all these wonderful Akaras and Abalas, Nyambe and Nyebbeh for school lunch. Nice. Thanks.

[@DadasFoodCraveKitchen]

I know right! More memories will be coming your way with all the momonyerres that we use to buy in our primary school day. I miss mbudakeh Lol!

[@patricktv7778]

the Indian people who sell street food here uses flour and the yellow split peas to make akara,I never knew you could make it with peas alone to me that's awesome and more healthier

[@DadasFoodCraveKitchen]

I never knew you could make it with flour except for maybe it's peas flour. You can find peas flour and make it, but not sure if it's regular flour. Thank you for watching

[@patricktv7778]

@@DadasFoodCraveKitchen it may not be the same as akara but it looks similar to akara

[@zuripenda]

In the Caribbean, we call it pholourie, made with split peas. The original recipe uses peas only, however, those who make it for sale, use a blend of peas and white flour. Cheap, but people seem to love it still.

[@tjanikhilor4240]

I prefer akara beans made with the skin, with skin is calcium and healthier. Thanks anyway, nice one👍

[@DadasFoodCraveKitchen]

Yes you can make it with either way you prefer it's all the same. I know few people who will leave the skin. Thanks for watching

[@south10moor]

Taking the skin doesn't remove the calcium or benefits. Its just easier for your gut to digest. Hard work always the best way
