I Made Nigerian Akara with Red Lentils Instead of Beans | You Won’t Believe the Result!

Have you ever wondered if Nigerian akara can be made without beans? I usually make akara with beans, but preparing beans for akara can take quite a bit of time—you have to soak the beans, peel the skins, and then blend them before you can even start cooking. So this time, I decided to try something different. Since lentils are also a legume, I wondered if I could use red lentils to make Nigerian akara. In this video, I take you along as I experiment with red lentils to make akara, and I also prepare custard to enjoy with it. It was a simple little kitchen experiment, but the result surprised me! Come spend some time in my kitchen with me and see how this turned out.
