I'm allergic to black-eyed peas. Is there anything I can substitute them with?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my akkras turned out flat and greasy. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These akkras were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less pepper next time.

These akkras were so easy to make and they turned out so delicious! I love that I can use frozen black-eyed peas, which makes this a great weeknight meal.

These akkras were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the black-eyed peas added a delicious nutty flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
