I love the fact that cuisine is revelatory of one's history; Nigerians eat this same thing!!! It goes to show that we are family, no matter the borders between us.
Indeed we're all related.
When I joined your fam we were abt 19k and now we're 199k indeed God is awesome and you my boss are blessed♥♥♥
Yes oo, we are 8 away from 200K!! Thanks for the love and support this whole time, sis.🙏🏾💕
Hi, I am Nigerian. I love what you do.
It's also called kosai in the northern part of Nigeria and akara in southern Nigeria.
In Ghana it's called kosee. It's a Northern Ghanaian dish so I'm not surprised Northern Nigeria has a similar name
This looks good, I will be trying this. Thanks you!
Congratulations on reaching 200K..you’ve worked really hard and deserve to be appreciated and applauded. I’m sure your Dad’s smiling down at you from heaven... keep the faith and God bless you and your family and may this channel and all you do grow from strength to strength🙏🏽
Thank you for your kind words, sis. God bless you🙏🏾🙇🏾♀️❤️
Love this
Can’t wait to try this!
Hope you like it!
That looks so delicious. Love it! 💯💯💯❤️
Thank you!!!
Hahaha that is the word, fry to perfection. Crunchy and simple. Thanks for sharing too. Yes we will be happy to have wonderful channels to come to and learn.
Thank you so much 🤗
I love it thanks ❤
Congratulations on 200k!🎊🎉🍾💯❤️🙏🏽
Thank you 🙏🏾
i'm definitely going to try the blending method. I have been thinking of making this but the peeling by hand was enough to discourage me. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love this method of taking the skin off before soaking........when you take it off after soaking in the blender, it breaks. Learnt something new
Bless you. Cheers to 200k in advance ❤
Yes, this is easier to do as well. Thanks for the support. We Just made it to 200K!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕💕

The Hajia moves have been finally launched hurray!!! Taking the skin off can be rough but I like your method!

Yes oo! I took me that long to get this video up! Glad to know the peeling process is helpful. Thank for watching, sis.🙏🏾
Yummy this looks so delicious my friend. We make something similar to this as well. But we use yellow peas or mung beans! So yummy ❤❤❤
Congratulations on 200K subs. Now onto 1,000,000 subs!
So true, always be kind and happy ❤
Woohoo I nailed it this time. Everytime I make it, it doesn't taste like the Ghana one I know but in following your recipe, it worked 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍😘😘😘😘

@@KwankyewaasKitchen OMG i cant believe u chose today of all days to reply i made them for dinner at work and EVERYONE went nuts over them I work at a hotel and made them . DELISH TY 4 SHARING
This method of peeling the beans is a very useful tip sis wowowo. I love akara and the thought of washing the beans just turns me away. The akara looks like a new bride, very shiny and yummy looking. Hmmm this with french bread in Saturday morning 😂😂🤤. Thanks for sharing sis ❤❤
Thank you so much sis. Yes what a perfect sandwich it will make! New bride got me smiling😄😄😄. You won't kill me oo😂😂😍😍😍
Thank you Mummy ❤️
Always a pleasure, love💕💕
Hiya new subby here I LOVE your videos. What is the drink you had with this please and is there a recipe for it? It sound like you said cocoa?
Hi there, loving your channel ❤️ what is the name of your blender please?
Beautiful sister, yes I like it soooooooo much 😋❤😊👍
Thank you so much.I'm glad you like it ❤️❤️
Nice peeling system- Also remind your viewers to recycle the sieve water not to be wasted. To use a clean water at the end of removing beans skins. Beans peeling is water consuming. Encourage water conservation in every part of the world. Your end product looks delicious.
Hoping to get some Hausa koko powder so I can enjoy it with koose the way you did. 😎
You should! So good!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Hi I love watching your video now is this like a Fritter ? I had to watch 3 times to get an understanding of what you were doing. Kim Gilmore 😊
Wowwww the skin came out so easily
Yes oo. No more rubbing between my palms😂😂
@@KwankyewaasKitchen abrokyire Aba fie hehehe

Wow, new skill learnt; using the blender to peel the beans before soaking" 🤣🤣🤣hey ny3 ha n.a. no b3ware😂😂😂, no nte no ho"😂😂. Hmm, Sis you made it simple and I know it's delicious with the koko. Well done Sissy.
Mese, i had to tell those two. How can you be romancing in this hot oil?😂😂😂😂. Glad the peeling process came in handy🙏🏾🙏🏾
I laughed and laughed and started sharing it😂😂😂 that was fun. Congratulations once again for the 200k subs. To God be the glory. Keep on with your good work. Lots and lots of love sis.👌👍👏👏👏❤
Hi Kwankyewaa. This is also the way I make my koose (Akara) but with the skin on. Akara is unbelievably, delicious with salad. Try it.
Thank you Esther! It does sound delicious and I will surely try it.
My dear can you tell me the name of the strainer you are using to fish out the goodies? Thanks!
It is a Kitchenaid brand and common in Home Goods 💕
What cause the koose to sink instead of floating
In Somali we call this bajiya, the recipe is the same ❤️
Looks good 😌... What type blender did you use to peel the beans?
Vitamix
Thank you! the blender is Vitamix
Hi my dear sis good afternoon how are you doing today Wow your food looks so good and so delicious my dear sis thank you so very much for sharing with me God bless you always my dear sis🙏🙏🙏😇 and I love you always sis ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@KwankyewaasKitchen your so very welcome always my dear sis and thank you so very much my dear sweet sis ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah am third 💃💃💃💃♥️♥️♥️👍
Yes you are🥰🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️❤️
An East African will venture to think this is Mandazi😄, it is a form of fried bread, they look so identical with Akara, Your recipes always have a life-changing hack✨💯❤️.
Thank you! I need to try some Mandazi then😋😋
I clicked here thinking it's mandanzi, so damned, I will try this sometime.
I thought it was mandazi
Look like Timmy Chan’s biscuits
i wanna try this. P.S. the American accent e no easy ey kikiki
Have not see were they use maggi and garlic for akara.
Yh it’s my first time seeing your face you look very sweet and beautiful ❤️❤️
Where do you live?
So to get the skin off we have to use the pulsating button on our blender because I’m scared of blending everything together
Use please. Pulse it.
The Black-Eyed Pea Fritters...Look Refreshingly Delicious!😃❤ Please Can One Of You Chefs...Commercialize These Wonderful Delicacies?🤔🤔..Trust Me, They'll Fly Off The Shelves! It Looks Real Fresh, And Healthy! Can't Go Wrong With Beans! Thanks For Sharing! Be Well.❤🙏
Thank you Wendell! You’re so right about having some of these foods available to purchase. Most people would be happy to buy. Hopefully some of us start thinking in that direction soon🙏🏾. Thanks for always lighting up the comment section!
that is not the gas in the beans coming to the surface, it is micro-organisms feeding on the carbs in the beans and producing gas(and acids) as a byproduct, basically the process of fermentation taking place
I see! Thanks for the education 👌🏾
madam,pls which state in US are u?
I think she's in Arizona.
@@a.bpaintsil8965 o thanks Afua
You welcome Dear
#200K subbies....lets get there family❤
Almost there! 21 more🙏🏾🙏🏾🙇🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️
@@KwankyewaasKitchen okay, let me stay up to celebrate with you!!!
Lol. You’re so sweet. Thank you!! 13 more!!!
@@KwankyewaasKitchen I keep refreshing my page lol...I have grape juice in my wine glass🎉🎉🎉 to celebrate
@@chikaokereke truly my kind of girl! We had sparking grape juice😂😂🤦🏾🤦🏾💃🏾💃🏾🥰🥰
Do you think you could add fresh shrimp to this and make it real fine? I wonder? Bet it would be delicious! They look delicious!
I can't say no to that! Sounds perfect to me. I will actually try it next time. I always have shrimp in my freezer, lol. Thank you😎👌🏾
No eggs?
Sis i tried making koose 3days ago and if u see how many times i visited the loo paa. Herrr as I'm typing kraa I'm feeling weak papa. Sister i don't know how my own turned out but i run saa. I think I'll stick to Hajia Kande's koose near my area. Urs really turned out perfect oo
Keep on trying 💪🏼😂
Hajia Kande go get money oo so try this one lol♥
Oh sis, kus3 oo. But some times ransto is good oo😂😂😂. Maybe it didn't cook well inside. Next time let the heat be medium and turn constantly to allow it cook through. I wish I had Hajia close by oo, just for koko, as I am out of millet.
Can we be friends please. 😁😋
But we are!!😍😍😍
