How to Make Nigerian Akara, Acaraje, Koose UPDATED | Typical Nigerian Breakfast | Flo Chinyere 

If after watching this video (from beginning to end ooo, no skipping), and you still can't prepare akara, please come for deliverance. With this my scientific expose, everybody is a winner! 💃💃💃

This one is real science. I wonder how our ancestors came up with all these techniques. Amazing. Thanks Aunt Flo

Chai! "Voltex", "electronomic" see big big grammar 😯 I'm sitting here eating my breakfast and watching this video. But the grammar eh! We are truly in a cooking class and science class all at once 😂 Nne, you're really under-rated on this RU-vid street. You're too much ❤

Am from Zambia watched and tried it no sooner. Followed the steps and came out so well. First time eating it but I loved it. Thankyou.

I had no idea there was so much science that goes into akara! I thought it was just you mix the ngwo ngwo and fry. 😅 Flo I di egwu! 👍🏾👍🏾

Flo i think my wife has a lot to thank you for, as i have found new love for cooking naija food myself for the family. Tried your akara recipe and cooking instructions, i can say my Akara has floated for the first time. Lol

The Only Akara on the Internet that went to University. Look how Distinctive it stands out. With its Cap and uniformed OGI.

This akara is A class🌟. I've never imagined using a whisk o. Flo am sure even in sleep you will be cooking. Because how you come out with this "scientific cooking n recipes"😍 is amazing.

Sis flo your channel should have been called Cooking Science,wow those akara graduated from Harvard.

I have prided myself as one of the akara specialist. I even take some some to work to do 'olonga' to my colleagues. However, I learnt something today. The science of leaving it for some time to aid it's 'fluffyness'. I would whisk untill my hands start to spasm. Thank you Flo

By the time I’m done binging on your videos, I’ll be a certified chef! Thank you for giving a DETAILED akara recipe. God bless you.

You just said it like it is. ''Original na original'' no matter what. Thanks for educating us on how they prepare beans powder

Made my first Akara today. I shared to my neighbors to taste, and everyone can't get enough of it. Thanks Aunty Flo. My dear of making Akara has been broken. I'm free........

My fear of making akara is gone, it's so simple now with this our lovely class and best video of urs, many use to make akara looks its hard to prepare but now NO is the answer. Weldone ma'ma good job.

Thanks Sister Flo, it’s looks so yummy 😋. I took my GCE classes at Robinson Primary too, we lived in Uwani too😁 before I got married and joined my hubby in Dallas Tx. I have learned a lot good cooking from. Thanks again 😘

This was more of a science class but I enjoyed it more than all the science classes we were taught in School. I suddenly feel like picking one through my screen. Looks delish🙌🙌👌👌😋😋.

Thanks for letting us in on the secret for a perfectly made Akara . I have not told anyone, but my secret has been adding a pinch of flour or pancake mix. Funny, but it works and nobody will know. I don’t have need of doing that now, hopefully. Thanks for letting me know to be patient in blending and letting the beans ferment.

When u talked about the watts of your blender, I quickly ran into my kitchen to check the watts of the new blender I got, turns out to be 400 watts, I never knew about this, thanks for this info sister chi

I can’t believe I’m watching this video of 2yrs ago and I’m cracking up 😅 This was fun to watch❤

This is the perfect Nigerian breakfast indeed. The akara looks delicious and yummy 😋. Thank you so much for sharing.

Good morning Aunt flo, I just finished watching your video am so happy when I was it. Before I after blending my beans I go straight to fry but today I learnt different. Thanks so much ma for sharing

Aunty flo. I need deliverance oooo 😂😂 i tried to make it for the first time ever in my entire life. My blender died on me while blending the second batch. 😬 The mixture was too watery and grainy it spattered in the oil! I made it for supper instead of breakfast and served what i managed to fry with tomato stew. Fortunately My sister and husband liked it.. i will do better next time around. With love from Lusaka, Zambia! ♥️

My sister, you just arrested me with your domestic science class, brought back memories of our domestic science classes in Ghana. Even your kitchen has science instruments. I've just been laughing, Eeeiiii!!!! I am a winner just listening to you. Well I will let you know how mine turns out. I have received deliverance already. Cheeii! Laughter is good medicine !

Thanks for your tips, i'm Greek but I love 😍 akara,ancient African food.

Jesus for the first time in my life I got my Akara right!!!! Guys you need to see the Akara I made!!! Thank you Flo! You are the best

Wow! This is exactly how my mum makes akara and how i make mine too. I use mortar and pestle to incorporate air to the akara.

What a beautifully prepared meal...I am not Nigerian but I want to make this because it's AMAZING! I am actually Mexican American and wondering how the bean paste taste...I will do this!

This looks so delicious, unfortunately I’m not from Nigeria so I can only imagine how this tastes 🤪 I love the way you infuse the Science lesson 😀👌

Is a sin if I did not drop this here. My Akara came out well for the first time with the help of this video. Thank you Sis Flo

I finally made Akara successfully thanks to this video! My mother in law is so impressed and ate almost the whole lot. Thanks aunty flo!!!!☺️❤

This is the very reason I keep referring friends to your channel. I can't believe that all I want now is this very akara with pap drowned in evaporated Peak milk even after stuffing my tummy with Egusi soup and ground rice. Chai! Flo you are both the cause and solution to hunger and that's one of the many reasons why I love you so so much. Biko manage this small kiss😘

Good morning. Bought your book 10 years ago. I am a Mixed Blessing and I am so thankful for the book. Nobody ever tought me to make akara. Now I am confident to make it properly. 🎉

our unique chef aunty flo your recipes can only be gotten here no where else

You are simply the best Flo! Thanks for maintaining our traditional african recipes. I'm so done with fake cooks on here trying to be wannabes, by complicating the recipes with crazy seasonings and crappy procedures... thumps up girl! n more vids plssssss!

This is going to my breakfast for the weekend and my girl gonna like it she loves any meals that is Nigerian Thank you Flo watching ur video has always help me been a better cook

This your science worked well well. Thank you so much nne for sharing. Your explanation always make sense. I have seen where I need correction because mine doesn't stay up like this. I will increase the time I turn with the mixer. It sure look yummy 😋. Akara ndi ukwua!!! 042 for life. Memories......

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this, I don't know i have to allow it to rise after blending i used stir and fry immediately after blending. It came out so yummy, I'm salivating watching this

Wow! I've learnt something new today, **Oligosaccharide** now I know why I bloat after eating Beans 🤔, that's why I look forward to your Videos, learning new things is inevitable 😀. Akara ndi ukwuaa 🤣, Chaiiiii this Akara is one in town, well rounded. I'm loving the white Akara and the one that contains Sweet pepper 🌶, well done my darling Sis, you're indeed a great Teacher, Have a lovely weekend 😘 ❤ 😊

That reference to Bishop Anyaogu str, Uwani is so nostalgic, pass there all the time to my school at Awkunanaw...beautiful akara too.

in brazil acarajé is fried in palm oil and stuffed with shrimp, small cut tomato salad, shrimp paste and other stuff

I watch this akara receip this morning and decided to make akara, after several attempts to make akara is from one problem to the other either it get burnt or suck all the oil, I stop to make akara, but today my akara making changes.. Thank flo, I follow all the steps in this video and my akara turn out well..

Wow this is absolutely delicious and the colour is Super Outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing. Indeed a great Update.

Akara Mma Ejyk!!!oh memories! Her shop was between Eze and Robinson Street. My teachers at St Mary's Bigard Primary school would always send me there to buy akara during break time.

Wow, the akara looks delicious!However I add a little seasoning cube to mine for a more delicious taste 😀. Thanks for sharing this video. I learned some new tricks also 😘

Wow! Small world "Akara ndi ukwua" or "Akara Mama Ejyk" at Eze street next to Robinson street - my childhood street (now in UK). Was happy to hear you talk about it. Tried your akara method and it worked fabulously well. Many thanks.

Thank you so much Ma...I followed through with your recipe and it came out well...I used my homemade beans flour ,infact my whole family enjoyed it...nothing was left.

This is superb! you really do wonders with food. God has really endowed with this natural talent and you voice makes me smile a lot. “ I have liked it, have you, have you”🤣🤣🤣

I finally made the Akara ooo sis ; my 1st time but it came out like a professional Akara. Thanks again for sharing that recipe

Flavour we don’t want to interfere with! 🤣 Not all blenders can do this work. Loving this scientific parts👍 Your method is really unique.

I don’t know the year you are talking about but I schooled in uwani secondary school Enugu just opposite Robinson primary school but that was from 83 to 89 long time ago but those days are the best.even though I don’t live in Bishop anyogu but it’s just around our school then.i love your akara,my wife will make it for the family next week

Flo seen this your video of akara , give me hope to try again becos last time I mees up my akara with this style I will make good akara this time.thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot for this updated recipe. For the very first time, I made Akara that my husband enjoyed and gave a positive comment to. It took me about two hours to clean the bean, the traditional way. It was worth the time. Good taste and fresh. God bless you richly for all you do!

This Akara is superb, well rounded. your method is so unique, well detailed that anyone can fry Akara

Thank God is Weekend tomorrow

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Flo won't kill me with her humor. Especially when she starts urging you to subscribe with her singing voice. Thanks dear, I just realised why my akara sank. I fried it right after blending. Wooow. Yours is really fluffy. And ooooooooooh that akamu....... I miss home 😭😄🤣

Wow....Flo I always enjoy your recipe and follow your videos bumpa to bumpa...I tried everything you said andddddd it worked!!!..Thanks so much..Now my hubby does not need to buy bean balls from his customers..I have stolen one of their customers.LOLLLL

One of the best Nigerian 🇳🇬 exports ❤❤❤.

Just stumbled on this video now n i am going to make akara this morning. I have unpeeled black eye.beans, cracked one, peeled n frozen one, and powder one. Since my.craving is high now n we need.breakfast, i am going to mix the.powder n blend asap😋😋

Acarajé from Bahia-Brazil is made ONLY in dendê oil. It has a unique flavour and is veeeeery tasty!!!

This akara remained me of Saturday morning akara and akamu breakfast back then in Nigeria. The akara looks so delicious.

You are doing a good job thank you

I followed your instructions though not to the latter and I made the best akara today! You are the best

sister Flo breakfast tomorrow will be in your house ooo, i am coming, just take a look at this Akara yummy

I tried this today. I used hand mixer with the whisk attachment. My akara came out so well..thanks for the tip that it shd float, i used that to test it b4 frying.

I agree with you Flo, I can never egusi, ogbono or beans already grinded. I don’t even buy poundo yam. I make my swallow from scratch. Thanks Flo!

Thank you for telling us why you don’t buy the already ground mixtures. We love your cheerfulness xx

I never knew beans has it's own yeast that makes it to float while frying akara. I taught is too much water that makes it not to float. I use hand mixer to my akara fluffy because i don't have a mortar. We will always like your video because you usually give detailed explanation and the science behind cooking that most of us are not aware of.

Your videos are well explained,welcome ma,have really learnt a lot from you

Back home then , When i was younger I use to make good akara and akamu for our family breakfast. Applying the scientific knowledge l gained here I think l will make a better akara now. Thanks for sharing.

The best on this street of RU-vid

This na real blender grammar. I bought a handblender specially for akara. Easy storage and less drama. I prefer using a manual whisk as it's less messy. Great video as usual aunty Flo xx

I tried this recipe today and it tastes great. I added some sunflower seeds in my last batch and that too taste great. Thanks for sharing

I used blackeye peas at least once a year as apart of New Year meal...but have now added Koose..... watchin from NYC....loving your share

Flo, I just tried it using this your method and omg it was delicious!

My heart is soft and fluffy lol. Immediately liked and subscribed. Thank you for an incredibly detailed video! I’m excited to make this for my husband as a surprise taste of him, thank you!

Thanks for sharing your cooking skills! I looooove akara however, cautious about eating it frequently for fear of increasing my lipid levels, moreover, I gain weight sniffing the aroma of food! I learned a good lesson recently when I over soakked my beans. My akara didn't rise as expected, was flat and absorbed too much oil👎 So beware of over soaking!

This is great. I love akara so much but because I don’t have morta, I lost hope. But today I am so impressed to see another mean of making it. Thank you so much chy banyi

I love your videos! Always fun and great recipes and techniques. I'm not Nigerian but love the food and love to cook. You're teaching me very well, thank u 😊. Please continue to upload them. You're my favorite!

Aunty Flo you are just too much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. My cooking never goes wrong when I follow your recipes and methods. God bless you ma.

Never knew I have have to whisk the beans before frying. I also used to add too many ingredients. The whole thing always scatter in the oil. Thanks so much for this recipe

I love Akara!! Yes only on weekends so you can enjoy it well well!!!

Bikonu is it possible to like more than 3 times,because a chorom I like more than once,chaii Chineke emerigo ekwensu🤣🤣🤣🤣,infact Akara nke a went to UNN

I really appreciate your teaching us how to fry akara, I will try it this weekend.. Thanks

I love this video - not just for the excellent recipe - but for showing how to blend akara with different tools. Flo knows my love for my Vitamix, but this video makes this recipe accessible to everyone. Thank you!

Thank you Auntie Flo for these free lessons. The Akara looks good

Chaiiiii oh.......see balanced meal! 👊🏽. But I feel like Akara burger.....is the only solution for this morning hunger. Great job flo 👊🏽

Look at this perfect akara balls. Let me learn the chemistry first Chai, very yummy O Akara na akamu with peak milk. No wonder hubby said it's favorite Sunday morning breakfast. Just eat and relax😋 Akamu too dey laputa m especially in the presence of igwe mmadu. I can't wait to learn the chemistry for that one too.

First today ooh!💃💃💃 My dear this akara is in a higher level I love the end result thanks for sharing 😋😋😋😋👍👌❤❤❤

Indeed my fear of making akara is goneeeeee!. Thank you for doing this Flo Chinyere. I started following you just this week and my pain is that why didn't I know your pages 6-7 years ago? ...and yes, I have watched a few of your videos since then, including while you were at work offshore. Coincidentally I am a petroleum geoscientist, and therefore quite relate while you were showing us around... You are quite an interesting person, keep doing what makes you happy.

This was beautiful and I have cracked the code of perfect akara. Thanks a lot Flo ❤❤❤

Wow! U are very good at explaining things. Thanks 🙏 for this Good bless u more ma'am

Flo, you’re the best. This science of akara is compulsory knowledge! Thank you I’m soaking my beans already. Can’t wait.

Thank you Flo Chinyere, I just made my akara now, and I was wowed thanks.

I remember the lady near Robinson street primary school. The woman’s name is Mama Ejeagha! Akara ndi ukwua was indeed what we called it. I went to Robinson street primary school opposite Uwani secondary school! I ate a lot of her akara! Chai! Flo! I didn’t know you grew up in 042! By the way, this is Iyno Emihcu (Onyi) from Facebook. Thanks for all your videos!

My heart is now soft and fluffy like this akara o! 😂 subscribed!

Learning something new on your channel each time. Thanks for the updated recipe. This looks tasty.

You are too funny, a good Cook and good character
