Let’s talk about a combo that never misses,  beans and plantain. This saucy porridge with sweet ripe slices on the side, this duo has been holding Nigerian kitchens down for generations. But have you ever tried turning them into crispy, golden balls of joy? Beans and Plantain Balls are the perfect starter for your next gathering, a fun snack for movie nights, or a creative way to get picky eaters into pulses.

These little bites are crispy on the outside, soft and flavourful on the inside, and filled with the earthy goodness of beans balanced with the natural sweetness of ripe plantains. They’re also easy to spice up — think suya pepper, onions, garlic, crayfish, or even a dash of scotch bonnet if you’re feeling bold.
