Dhindo (Nepali)
Dhindo is a staple Nepali meal and it is regarded as traditional Nepali food. It was previously considered to be a poor man’s meal or just the staple food of those living in the Himalayan regions of Nepal but with the rise in interest in Nepali tradition and culture, and the inclusion of dhindo in most urban restaurants, it is now a popular meal, with a high-demand, and a loyal following in Nepal. It can be had as an early meal, lunch or even dinner. It is a common Nepali dish that one can find in all traditional Nepali restaurants, and diners, with the exception of fast-food outlets. The dish is popular among tourists and trekkers and it is served with locally prepared chicken curry, soup, pickles, and vegetables. The meal is believed to have high nutritional content. Its key ingredients are wheat flour, salt and water. Instead of wheat, some restaurants also use corn/maize flour, and depending on the type of flour that’s used, it’s sometimes yellow or light black in color.
