Dhido

Dhido is the ancient staple food of rural Nepal, a dense, firm porridge made by cooking buckwheat or millet flour in boiling water with continuous stirring until it pulls away from the sides of the pot. Predating rice cultivation in the hills, dhido is the original Nepali comfort food, eaten by breaking off pieces with the fingers and dipping them into gundruk soup, dal, or meat curry. It is an earthy, wholesome food deeply connected to Nepal's agrarian heritage.
