Procedures for Making Garin Danwake
-
Spread the beans on the tray and pick up any unwanted particles or dirt. Do the same for the wheat (alkama) and bambara beans (gurjiya).
-
Pour the dried cassava (rogo) into the dry mill and grind until it turns coarse (not too soft). Alternatively, you could use a mortar and pound. When you are done, pack it and put it in the bowl.
-
Add the beans (wake), bambara beans (gurjiya), and wheat (alkama) inside the bowl.
-
Add powdered kuka (garin kuka) and potash (kanwa) and mix all of the content very well.
-
Take the mixed content to a grinding machine until soft.
-
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.
