I Used
- 3 cups black eye beans
- Chopped onion as desired
- Chopped fresh pepper as desired
- Salt to taste
- 300ml water for grinding the beans
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
Preparation
- Soak the peeled or washed beans in water for 20 minutes before grinding.
- Grind the beans with 300ml water to make a semi thick paste, transfer to a mortar and blend for 25 minutes on high speed.
- When you notice it has doubled in size and become more whitish in colour, add the chopped pepper, chopped onion and salt and blend for another 15 minutes.
Note: This should be done in bits especially if you are making large quantity.
Frying procedure
- In an empty dry pot, add enough vegetable oil for deep frying, leave to heat. Put the beans paste , fry on both sides on medium heat, until golden brown
