A young woman’s attempt at making the beloved West African snack, akara, has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
The TikTok user, known as @og_gift0, took to the platform to share a video of her homemade akara, which, by her own admission, did not quite live up to her expectations.
Hoping to show her culinary skills, the woman instead found herself the subject of amusement, garnering hilarious comments from netizens.
Confessing to having no prior experience in preparing akara, the woman revealed that she had turned to YouTube tutorials for guidance.
However, her first attempt at replicating the recipe resulted in an unappetizing outcome, leaving her heartbroken and disappointed.
The video, which has since gained traction online, has sparked a wave of empathy and humor from viewers who have found themselves in similar situations, struggling to master a dish for the first time.
