'akara' aka bean or lentil fritters
Fritters
Akara to Nigerians, Acaraje to Brazillians. These black-eyed bean fritters are perfect for the vegan breakfast table or lunch box and are also tasty when made with lentils. Commonly eaten with bread or corn pap, they are both street food (wrapped in newspapers) and homemade.... In our family, this was Saturday morning food, every Saturday. However, the road to making them is paved with hardwork and supreme effort to skin the beans. My version uses lentils or gram (lentil) flour (considering that the beans in Europe are polished making the skins even harder than normal to take off!). The first time I tried them, I was perfectly surprised to see how good they tasted, that next time, I livened them up with cumin seeds and chopped cilantro (coriander) leaves. - Kitchen Butterfly
