Instructions

  1. Roughly mash the cooked beans with a fork or pestle, without turning them into a purée.
  2. Add the chopped onion, chili, salt, pepper and garlic powder, then mix well.
  3. Gradually work in the cornmeal until you get a firm dough that holds together in a ball.
  4. Shape into patties about 1 cm thick with damp hands.
  5. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the patties for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until crispy.
  6. Drain them on paper towels and serve hot.

Variations and tips

Spiced kande. Add a pinch of cumin and a little turmeric to the dough.
