Kulikuli
(Peanut Balls) Preparation:

Method:

Grind or pound the peanuts, adding just enough oil to make a smooth paste. Squeeze the mixture with wet hands to remove any excess oil. Fry the onions, cayenne pepper in 1 tbsp of oil until the onions are golden brown. Knead the onion mixture into the groundnut paste and when thoroughly mixed shaped into 3cm diameter balls (add a little water if you need help holding them together).

Drop the balls into a deep layer of hot oil in a wok, or flatten and shallow fry in a frying pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the outsides are crisp. They can be served as a snack or as an accompaniment to a main course.
