Ingredients for Making Garin Danwake
1 tier of dried cassava (rogo)
4 cups of beans (wake)
1 cup of powdered kuka (garin kuka)
2 cups of wheat (alkama)
2 cups of bambara beans (gurjiya)
Dried potash (kanwa)
Procedures for Making Garin Danwake
STEP 1: Spread the beans in the tray and pick the unwanted particles or dirt. Do the same for the wheat (alkama) and bambara beans (gurjiya).
STEP 2: Pour the dried cassava (rogo) into the dry mill and grind until it turns coarse (not too soft). Alternatively, you could use mortar and pound. When you are done, pack and put inside the bowl.
STEP 3: Add the beans (wake), bambara beans (gurjiya), and wheat (alkama) inside the bowl.
STEP 4: Add powdered kuka (garin kuka) and potash (kanwa) and mix all of the content very well.
STEP 5: Take the mixed content to a grinding machine and grind until very soft.
STEP 6: Finally, spread it on a clean surface, such as a tray or mat, and allow it to cool. Ensure you do not use it while hot. This will result in not having a good danwake.
How to Store Garin Danwake
Always store your garin danwake in a tight container or leather to avoid air and unwanted particles getting into it.
Nevertheless, it is at its best when used within a month of its preparation.
