  1. In a big bowl with water, pour the unpeeled beans and soak.

It's always easier to peel before the beans becomes soft.
  2. After peeling the beans, soak for 2 hrs(if u using blender) if not, rinse the beans thoroughly and take to the local grinding machine to blend. Pls note u are blending only the beans.
  3. If u are using a blender or food processor, blend with little or no water at all until smooth.

To know if ur mixture is ready, put water in a bowl and use spoon to scoop a little of the beans into it, if it float and does not sink, then u are good to go. If not, keep on mixing 😉
  5. After it has double in size, add ur pepper, onion and salt and mix properly. I always add salt last.
  6. Heat up oil and scoop batter into it and fry.
  7. If you don't want the inside white like mine, you can blend/ pound the pepper seperately with no water and add later.So so crunchy 😍
