| ¼ | cup | Peanut oil, or to taste |
| 1 | small | Onion, finely chopped |
| 1 | teaspoon | Cayenne |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |

Directions
Grind or pound the nuts adding just enough oil to make a smooth paste. With wet hands, squeeze the mixture to remove any excess oil.
Saute the onions, cayenne & salt in a tablespoon of oil until golden.
Knead into the nut paste. Shape into 1" diameter balls adding a few drops of water if necessary to make them hold together. Drop the balls into hot oil or flatten & fry in a skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the outsides are crisp.
