How to Make Tubani Recipe
Tubani recipe is another northern Nigerian dish that is primarily consumed by Hausas. It is prepared in three (3) different methods just like Gauda as a result of the differences in the ingredients used.
It can be made with masara and waken soya (maize and soya beans); also, it can be made with white beans and maize alone. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to prepare Tubani in three distinct methods. Please stick with me!
