NEW AKARA ALERT!!!

The trials of Ugochukwu would continue in a bit. But there's something I would like to share.

AKARA!!!!

Yeah you read that right. For those of you who stay in Benin city (our very own ancient city) or have had cause to stay there, you would be able to relate with this.

You know the way the Benin akara taste? Crunchy, rough on the edges and super tasty? Well I found the recipe to make it crunchy. Thanks to my hubby.

After grinding the beans, they add garri to the mix to give it those rough edges, so anytime I make akara, I add garri to it and it gives it those rough edges

But today, I decided to do something different...

There was this raw groundnut that has been laying unused in the kitchen for sometime now, and I decided to add it to the beans and blend it together.

'What of if it doesn't turn out well?' I questioned

Well I decided to take the risk.

I didn't tell hubby about it incase it didn't turn out well I wouldn't hear

"I didn't like the idea in the first place" lolzzzz

So off I went with my new 'experiment'

And I blended both and after the blending added garri and other stuff to it and fried...

Guess what???
It turned out great! it turned out really nice.
And my hubby that has international standard taste bud(I think its only my hubby that has that #winks) gave it a BIG pass mark

Boy!!! I was proud of my self and here's the lesson: "DON'T be afraid to try something New! Something different" cos you never know the invention you may come up with.

Shebi the popular Coke we drink was even 'accidental' sef and till date Coke is my Mum's favourite soft drink.

So...

Don't be afraid to try something new, get out of the routine... Do something exciting for yourself.

Today is Saturday peeps!!! Go have fun and try something different today!!!

Peace!!!
