Instant Akara Bean Fritter Mix, Mild or Spicy – 13.5 oz
Make golden West African bean fritters with an instant Akara mix that brings the bean flour and seasoning together in one pouch. Akara is known for its crisp exterior and soft center, making it a satisfying snack, sandwich filling, or accompaniment to a favorite sauce. Choose Mild or Spicy to suit the meal you have in mind.
The supplier describes this blend as an alternative to preparing and whipping a bean paste from scratch. You add water and oil to the dry mix before frying small spoonfuls of batter. Rice, sauce, bread, and other serving accompaniments are separate additions, so you can build the plate around your own preferences.

Preparation and Storage
For the supplier's batch recipe, combine 1 cup mix with ¾ cup water and 2 tablespoons oil. Heat separate frying oil to approximately 330°F. Spoon batter into the oil without crowding the pan, fry for about 3 minutes while turning occasionally, and lift out with a slotted spoon to drain. Use the current pouch directions for the selected flavor.
Follow the current pouch's storage and best-by directions. Protect the dry contents from moisture and close the pouch after use. Preparation quantities depend on the package and recipe, so keep the label available while cooking. A specific unopened shelf life has not been verified.
