NIGERIAN BUNS

There is just one thing I love about Nigerian buns and that is the hard texture and how filling it is.
Ingredients
200 g flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt 
50ml milk
Warm water to mix
Vegetable Oil for frying

Preparing the Buns

- Put the flour, baking powder, egg, sugar, salt and milk together in a bowl and mix with warm water thoroughly until its fully mixed. Place a plastic cover over the bowl and leave for 30 minutes. Then mold the dough into round balls.
-  Heat up enough vegetable oil in a very deep pan or pot until you feel the oil has become medium hot. Ensure that the oil is not too hot else the buns might cook outside but not inside. Place some of the molded balls in the oil. Leave to fry for about 15-20 minutes until the buns is well cooked inside. After the balls are placed in the oil, it usually would sink to the bottom of the pan so when this happens, turn it a bit with your spoon and then turn the buns over when the side on the surface has turned golden brown.
- When every part is completely dry, take out the puff-puff from the oil and place in a sieve, then onto a kitchen paper to reduce the amount of oil.
- And your buns is ready to be served with juice, zobo or any soft drink.

Avocados'

Avocados are very nutritious and contain monounsaturated fats (MUFA’s), fibers, potassium and some vitamins. Avocados are said to contain around 160 calories, 3 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbohydrate and about 21.5 grams of fat with the majority of carbohydrates in form of fibers. You can eat them in moderation as part of a weight-loss diet or add them to your regular diet as a concentrated source of calories to help you gain weight. While Avocados contain relative high calories, the Oleic acid contained in the MUFA’s can help to reduce one’s cravings for food and is used by the body as an energy burner, instead of the saturated fat you must have assumed it was. They also contain beta-sitosterol, a compound known to lower cholesterol levels. There are lots of health benefits attached to eating Avocados from improvement in Eye health to a glowing skin tone.
