Steps

  1. 1

    Soak your beans with some warm water in bowl.Let it sit for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Peel off the skin by rubbing them against each other or use a grater. *When using the grater be careful not to cut yourself.*

  3. 3

    Once most of the skin is off, carefully strain it off until all the skin is separated from the beans leaving the beans squeaky clean.

  4. 4

    Add some water to the clean beans and let it sit for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the skin from the onion and cut in half. Chop one half of the onion finely. Chop the other half into rough cuts.

  6. 6

    Strain the beans through a sieve and pour in the blender. Add the egg and the rough chopped onions to the blender.

  7. 7

    Add about one third cup water. The batter should be like a thick custard. If the blender blade isn’t moving add water but at a little at a time until you reach the correct consistency.

  8. 8

    Once everything is blended pour in a bowl and scrape out what is left with a spoon or spatula.

  9. 9

    Add the chopped onion and season with salt to taste. Be careful as it becomes salty after frying. Mix with a whisk for about 2 to 3 minutes.

  11. 11

    Scoop with a dessert spoon and fry until golden brown on both sides.
