Step1:First, soak rice and fenugreek seeds, and black beans in water for about 6 hours. I usually stay overnight.
Step2:Five hours later, first mix the beans with a little water to make a paste. Then pour them into a glass container. Then grind the rice and Cucurbita seeds with rice to make a paste.
Step3:Mix the bean paste and rice paste. Cover it. Put it in a warm place and ferment for 1012 hours (810 hours in winter). Remember that the cover cannot be locked. Because the fermentation process will produce gas. Wait until the rice bean paste volume expands to twice or nearly twice the size. It has a slight sour taste. That's good. Fermented rice bean paste should be in a fluffy state (as shown in the figure). Add salt to taste. It's OK.
