    AKARA BANANA

    I am not sure what category this falls in i know for sure it is a good breakfast dish and goes superb with pap, but i guess you can also call it a snack/dessert. Anyway this dish is predominantly associated with West African countries.

    1/4 cup water
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 cup fluor(optional)
    4 cassava or garri
    6 over ripe bananas
    Vegetable Oil
    Pepper(optional)

    Mash bananas using a fork or in a blender to make a paste.





    Next add in your fluor.





    Dilute your sugar in water, and then add to the bananas and fluor, be careful not to make your mixture too hard,or too soft add water as needed (my measurements are loose estimates - you know what think of the meatball consistency if that helps).


    Grate your casava and squeeze the pulp and in you mixture add in small quantities the cassava chaff (note the water makes very good starch for clothes) until desired texture is achieved.(Garri can be used in place of cassava)





    Mold your batter into little bite size balls and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.





    You can also fry this mixture like you would  pancake in which case when mixing together your ingredients, make sure to add enough water to achieve a pancake consistency and fry.





    - My food world revolves around pepper in case you are wondering what the pepper is for, i usually make a little pepper sauce to go with my akara unless you need some sort of recipe which i would be glad to provide make your favorite pepper sauce and enjoy.

    Great effort!


    However, the traditional (best) recipe doesn't include FLOUR and vegetable oil.


    In place of vegetable oil, Palm oil ( heated, but not too "bleached") is used and this adds to its 'traditional' taste .


    Ground cassava is used (exclusively) alongside the blended ripe bananas to obtain the 'dough'. However, sugar is only used to enhance the taste (for those with a sweet tooth)
