That's impressive! Your recipe is very detailed. The English word for Awara is tofu. It is often better to use tofu rather than soybeans cake. Thanks for sharing

This is an interesting recipe, never heard of it before. I bet it tastes very delicious from the looks.
How long do you soak the bean and do you grind it when it is still soaked?
