Small onion (chopped) 1/2

Salt to taste
Oil to fry

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Take the soaked black-eyed peas in a bowl and skin them by rubbing them firmly with your fingers. Pour some water in the bowl and the skin floats on top. Discard the skin and continue again until only white legume like insides remains in that bowl.

2. Drain the skinned black-eyed peas and grind into a smooth paste...you will require almost nil to little water. Do not add more water.

3.Heat oil in a pan enough to deep fry.

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil. These are bread/buns usually made with tapioca flour, milk, oil, cheese, salt, and egg/egg substitute. Since I don't use eggs in my baking I have used vinegar instead. These are soft, chewy and so addictive. I love to make healthy bakes from all around the world. Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients. A must try because they are gluten-free, contain no yeast, no baking powder, yet so soft and cheesy😋 I had never tried baking with tapioca flour...and found it so interesting to bake with. The dough is too sticky and you will need some extra flour to be dusted to make balls out of it. I have used plant-based pa...
