¤ Pankara ¤

Nothing stops you from eating your akara even if you don't like oily foods. You can try out this method. Hope you like it.

Ingredients

- 2 cups Black eyed cowpea

- 3 Red bell peppers

- 1 Scotch bonnet

- 2 Large onions

- 1/2 cup chopped Ugwu leaves (optional)

- 2 Eggs

- Seasoning

- Salt

- Vegetable oil

MARY's Method

* Peel the beans. Blend with the vegetables, peppers and 1 onion. Make sure not to add too much water while blending; just enough to keep the grinder/blender running.

* Beat in the egg into the bean paste. Chop the other onion finely and pour into the paste. Add the seasoning and salt to taste. Stir continuously for 7-10minutes.

* Heat up your frying pan. Put about 2-3 tablespoons of oil in the pan and pour in about 2 cooking spoons of the bean paste into the pan. Allow to cook on low heat for about 3 minutes. Turn over to the other side and allow to cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are golden brown in colour.

Enjoy!
