Ingredients

1 cup Akara mix
2 large Plantains
1/2 cup Palm oil
1 large Onion
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
2 large Eggs

Method

Heat palm oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until golden-brown, 6–8 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together akara mix, eggs, salt, and pepper, then add a little water to achieve a thick but pourable consistency.
Using a spoon, drop small amounts of the akara mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with a spatula, and cook until golden-brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, peel plantains and slice into 1-inch rounds, then fry in the same oil until golden-brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain akara and plantains on paper towels and serve hot, garnished with additional onion if desired.
For a crisper exterior, fry the akara and plantains at a higher temperature, about 350°F, for a shorter amount of time, about 1-2 minutes per side.
