This how i clean my cowpeas within few minutes. I start by adding hot water to the cowpeas and let it sit for five minutes then add it to the blender and pulse that’s all. You’ll then wash it make sure there’s no a y traces of the skin!
I then soak the beans with cold water for like an hour or so. The reason why is because we want the batter to be as soft as possible
Drain the water and add the beans to the blender and blend till it’s smooth (make sure you add as minimum amount of water as possible)
Without washing the blender add the vegetables and blend then add it to the batter together will all the spices and the okra the sizzling and whisk. I actually use a hand mixer and whisk for 10 minutes in medium speed then put it In the fridge to rest for 15 minutes. I did this thrice and the result was all I hoped for.
Add your oil in a pan and add chopped onion allow them onions to fry till golden brown remind them onion and whisk your batter for the final time before dropping your kosai
Serve hot with your delicious pap or gruel and a soft bread dan sittin for the best sandwich that ever existed
More images because since when plating and arranging your kosai like in a fancy restaurant is a crime ?
