Made akara with chickpea flour the other day. I got the idea after I used it tas a binder for my mushroom burger patties and it was so good. I didn't even know it was a thing. Also made it like a pancake and put in my wrap with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and hemp mayo. So so good.
Nice, video,I tried using Lentils(orange coloured one) for moimoi n it came out great.Lentils is rich in Iron,I think you should try it out for your audience to see as well.
Aunty Flo, thank you so much about telling people to watch a video before asking questions. As a lecturer, I find it very frustrating when people want answers without doing the necessary research themselves. Aside from that, thanks for doing the chickpea moin moin recipe. I find our beans causes too much gas, so chick peas had been recommended but was not sure it could be used for moin moin. Thank you so much. Really enjoy your videos and your passion to be adventurous in the kitchen.
Auntie flow, I just wanna say thank you for your receipt I tried it this evening and it came out well, I did not cook because my cooking pot was too small to contain all the pack I did so I just decide to bake in oven and I needed do is add a little water to the oven pan for it to cook 175ºc for 1hr, Yummy, grazie ma.
Me if i don't eat beans within a week I will feel like something is missing, I like beans oh,,,,,. Thanks for all this varieties, you're truly saving lives bc some of us staying in a different environment are now finding it easy to do something we want with alternatives you always provide. God bless you plenty. Meanwhile am still waiting for my request oh, hope you remember? #Agbalaatii. Lol
Ofu nne ji gi na my husband. He LOVES beans! God bless you too Donatus for always giving me feedback that makes my heart paulina-paulina. :) Chai o! I'm in trouble with this ogbaloti. I need to speak with my grandma on that to make sure I include everything. :)
Chai! Finally I have found an answer to my quest. I have been searching through UA-cam for alternative(s) to beans moi moi.. Thanks, auntie Flo. Your channel is full of helpful answers. More grace 👐
Just tried it out. I used the tin chickpeas it didn't solidify ended up like humus so it severed as a dip. Still tasted good. Would surely try again this time with the raw beans 😊
Chick pea flour is readily available in the shops. Its called gram flour - Gram flour is a staple in Asian cooking. Its used for bhajis and a lot of other foods in their culinary repertoire.
You see using the leaf wrapper to keep the heat in,that's a new one for me. Thank you ma. That moimoi without peeling is the best for lazy people like me
Hey Sister Flo, you have come again. I eat chickpeas but have never thought of using it to make moi-moi. My family does not like beans even in moi-moi, but I love moi-moi. We use chickpeas in our salads. I will try this new recipe this weekend, hopefully my kids will like it. Good job and God bless you.
Awww, if they don't like Moi Moi wahala go dey o. Anyway try and let me know how they see it. My kids did not like Moi Moi at first. I changed the shape and bam they started liking it. I think the shape change made it more attractive to them. I put it in muffin cups and bake it. You can use other fancy silicon shapes. Here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/eQAgN9UCuig/v-deo.html
@@Jessyqueen1962 (1) first soak the dried chickpeas with enough water for about 12hrs let's just say over night (2) Rinse with fresh water (3) Place the now cleaned chickpeas in a food processor along with these items listed below. Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients but the cumin gives it a very distinct taste (4) Add parsley, cumin, coriander, shallots/ onion, pinch of salt. Add about 4 tablespoons of flour, Add teaspoon of baking powder to give the falafels a fluffy texture. You can add chilli if required (5) blend with little water to have the consistency of bread crumbs so not too smooth (6) Shape into balls or domes in short any shape you like (7) keep refrigerated for like 30mins (8) Then fry It looks lengthy but trust me it's worth it. I haven't tried it baked. You can also use canned chickpeas but you may not get the same result.
ken fav thanks a lot for taking your time to explain I appreciate it , I will give it a try next week because this weekend I’m going to try the chickpeas moimoi the only thing is that due to the fact that I won’t be able to find wrap leaves I going to use the Aluminion foils , thanks again
Congratulations sis for the new recipe👍. I' ve been using chickpea for moi moi for long now. You can also try it out in combination with split lentils.It goes well with plant based milk, akara, and hummus
I have cooked it just the way you did but not the uma leave method I used foil paper, and I have also fryed it there is no different with acara and it tast so good
I absolutely lovee chickpea,i normally snack on it...by roasting it ,sometimes,blending it,and drizzling,good olive oil,and use as dipping sauce known as humus for fries,carrots,celery etc.I will try making moi moi with it,since aunt Flooo,has once again,done it...😊😘.Thank you Nne...God bless you....😘😍😊
I have use northern white beans, lentils and yellow split peas in place of black eye peas for moi moi, but never chick peas. The next time I prepare moi moi, am going to use chick pea. I eat chick peas alot, love making chick pea soups and stews. Thanks Flo.
I love beans and as a former vegetarian I think alot of people who do not eat meat like chickpeas and legumes because they're very versatile and in some case make a highly adequate meat-like substitute and provide protein. I myself like to use them in stews(American), soups and when I cook Indian and Mexican foods.
Thank you for this video. Can you do more on bulk cooking for family. And husband lunches. I find myself cooking the same thing. And want to be more versatile 😀
My friend makes chickpea moi moi too and I've always wanted to try it. I usually make Lentil moi moi as I like that I don't have to soak it for long. I'll give this a try
Thank you Flo for this recipe..i have Garbanzo beans resting on my kitchen cabinet for a while...i will definitely give it a try..because i love moi moi and akara..but just cooking beans and eating it..no matter how sweet the beans taste i get heartburn, and fait..even after soaking the beans in water.So Garbanzos Enteros made in moi moi here i come..!!!!Merry Xmas.
A teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in beans while cooking it keeps all the heartburn away. I have been doing that for years and it works. It makes beans cook faster too and no stomach bloating with gas too
Really Eucilia? That's good to know. I only knew it as a food tenderizer. Who knew it can reduce bloating too. It may even make the beans more delicious sef because baking soda adds some sweetness to tomato puree to remove the tangy taste. Thanks.
You are welcome Faith! Beans heartburn problem is a real issue. I think it's in the coat but then some people also get heart burn when they eat Moi Moi. Merry Christmas!
Thumbs up 👍🏽. Have you tried lentil moi moi. U will never eat beans moi moi if you do. Coming to why chickpeas is..... It’s used for Hummus in place of salad cream ( na ndi otuya) when eating salads. I believe it’s a healthier alternative to salad cream. And you can also make ur salad with chickpeas.
Yes, lentils Moi Moi especially when cooked with red lentils is great. 👌 That hummus, I need to try it. A few people have mentioned it here. Thanks. :)
I also use lentils to make both moi moi and akara. Being abroad, the saying "necessity is the mother of invention" rings oh so true! Now, if only I can find an easier way to get garri! (I have seen the keto garri with cauliflower and coconut and also the true garri using yuca (cassava) but person no get energy to dey do dat kain work!)
Yes lentils especially red lentils make good Moi Moi and akara too. Nne eh, making garri in the kitchen is not practical at all. One needs that special grinder for garri, a blender won't do the job well. Then the special sieve, I have never seen anything like it in the kitchen utensils section, then the press that will wring out all the water: even all the weights in my home cannot do a good job. 😂 Too many special utensils and equipment that making garri at home will just be too much work, not worth it.

I have vowed that my luggage allowance on my next trip back home will definitely be food, all food, and nothing but food! And make customs no just try demselves or dem go see propa naija display! Well for homemade garri, a food processor to grate the cassava could work, then for the sieve, I thought of those we find in the labs with different mesh sizes (www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01H2T6O0G/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_2_w). Wringing the water out is the major problem and then frying abi na roasting - truly, too much work as you said!!! Have you tried mung beans too? I introduced akara to my Vietnamese friend and now, she uses mung beans to make akara, since it is a lot cheaper at the asian stores than garbanzo and black eyed beans.
I first ate chickpea some months ago. It was fried like akara inshort its akara made with chickpea by a Burmese family in my church. Nice one aunty Flo
LOL @ summon courage. Sis this one does not need courage o. It looks, smells and tastes nice. And you can't beat the ease of preparation! 💃💃💃 Thank you. :)
Thanks for sharing Aunty Flo. I have tried orange colour lentils for moimoi it was bam😋. Ensure it soft when mixing. Wash and soak overnight and rinse blend and prepare as did with the chickpeas etc moi-moi is done.
Unfortunately no one in my house likes beans but me and my mom. Beans cause bloating hence why no one likes it. They only ways it is consumed in my house is either by making moi moi or akara. This Chickpea moi moi looks like the real moi moi. Kudos Flo. Hopefully I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing! How does it taste though?
It tastes like Moi Moi and great too. Hubby says he now prefers Chickpea Moi Moi LOL. Whether it is anuta agbogho, achufu agadi he is doing for now, time will tell. 😂😂
@@confidenceoparaocha4226 My wife still get bloating regardless of how much or long I soak the beans before cooking. The only way she or the kids eat beans is by making moi moi or akara.
First, that trend of adding boiled eggs to Moi Moi needs to start attracting a prison sentence. 😂😂 It overcooks the egg so much that it literally becomes poison. Corned beef > I can't stand the smell. Fish? Let's just say that we prefer our Moi Moi plain. LOL
Nice video Aunty Flo!! Just to inform your seldomly on Chickpeas aka Garbanzo beans, they’re the original legume in its family. Cultivated for roughly about 7000 years ago in the Middle East, yet they do attain dietary fiber which is healthy for human consumption they also are great in value for protein, dietary fiber, folate, and rich minerals like iron and phosphorous. You made these appear so delicious, I must also know where’d you get that powerful blender from lol??? 😂😂🤔
Hmmmm aunty flo you and trying out new things. This will be delicious from the way it is. What's the name of your blender, I need to know cos I want new and good blender.
Aunt Flo! Gi nwe aka! Thumbs up. Another recipe has been added to my christmas meal plan.See me dying with suspense when you were about to open the leaves. It is written all over your face that it turned out right. I like your recipe spirit(if there is anything like that). You can invent new recipes to save a life! You are a food lover and I like that. I like that you don't just eat but celebrate food. I will try this over the weekend and see how it turns out. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Thank you Nene! 😍😍😍The truth is that I was not adventurous before o. I had a short list of foods I liked and stuck to those. But with living abroad, alternatives to the rescue! Right now the brown beans I brought from Nigeria is running low 🤣 and I do not look forward to peeling the very tough black eyed beans we can buy here (tough even with the blender method) so alternatives trials began. Also since I ventured into the food space, the food questions I get on here get me thinking deep big time! 🤗🤗🤗
What recipes do you suggest I try that resemble the taste of collard, mustard, or turnip greens. The greens here have different names than those in the States. Thx. 😊
Can I taste please? I am hosting a meeting, and I am going to use chick peas to make the moi moi. Thanks for the idea. I will make a little this weekend to see how it turns out.
Lovely recipe Aunty Flo. I don't like beans and anything in the legumes family but I love moi moi so I will try out the chickpeas recipe. Thank you for your videos. We love you x.
So you mean all that chickpeas that has been sitting in my food cupboard since nineteen jogodo can be used to make moi moi. HIAN! 😍😘 aunty flo...Na you biko
Na small small Belove. Practice making the cone with paper and before you know it, you've mastered it. :) Also see this video: ua-cam.com/video/3JfrriTk0QQ/v-deo.html
I'm not sure chickpeas are available in Nigeria, hence the lack of an Igbo name. Keep in mind most of Aunty Flo's recipes are aimed at those residing in the diaspora.
Hello Ma, do you live in Spain? I live in Spain, just recently moved here for studies and I will like to know where I can get moi-moi leaves. Also, which shops I can buy the chickpeas. I will appreciate your response
Well done nwanne! I tried it ones, d texture was good but the truth is dat I didn’t like d taste. I’ve been planning to try it in okpa way😅😅 I mean with less ingredients
It’s really good..I don’t miss beans moin moin at all.hope it’s same for akara ..what I really like is the funny beans smell /taste is not there...chickpea is bae

Why don't your like beans? I literally thought to myself today, I love beans, so versatile and tasty :)

Thank you Nene! 😍😍😍The truth is that I was not adventurous before o. I had a short list of foods I liked and stuck to those. But with living abroad, alternatives to the rescue! Right now the brown beans I brought from Nigeria is running low 🤣 and I do not look forward to peeling the very tough black eyed beans we can buy here (tough even with the blender method) so alternatives trials began. Also since I ventured into the food space, the food questions I get on here get me thinking deep big time! 🤗🤗🤗
What recipes do you suggest I try that resemble the taste of collard, mustard, or turnip greens. The greens here have different names than those in the States. Thx. 😊
I’m definitely trying this!! 🙏🏾👍🏾🤗🤗🤗🤗
You inspired me a lot thank you for the good job.
I'm glad. :)
Is this beans sold in Nigeria and what is it called? thanks for sharing.
Can I taste please? I am hosting a meeting, and I am going to use chick peas to make the moi moi. Thanks for the idea. I will make a little this weekend to see how it turns out.
Hi Flo, would you say that chickpeas is a preferable option to lentils for moi moi in your opinion?
Chickpea is called hummus in Israel, and am gonna try it

Anty flo plz help me with the exact measurement of oil for moimoi..i always end up either not using enough or too much. Plz help a sister
Pls ma what is the Igbo name for chick peas ? I really want to try this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm not sure chickpeas are available in Nigeria, hence the lack of an Igbo name. Keep in mind most of Aunty Flo's recipes are aimed at those residing in the diaspora.
Give them aunty flo...lol. I miss moi moi to much. I must make it soon.
😂😂😂 Please do. Easy peazy this one. Enjoy!
Hello Ma, do you live in Spain? I live in Spain, just recently moved here for studies and I will like to know where I can get moi-moi leaves. Also, which shops I can buy the chickpeas. I will appreciate your response
I'm going to make this tomorrow, I have chickpea in my house already
Let me know how it goes Oge. :)
Pls what is the IBO name for chickpeas. I will like to try this out

Really? You did not like the taste? I hope that over-ingredients was not worrying it? 😂😂😂
Yes, reduce the ingredients and try again. :)
