Dhindo (Nepali: ढिँडो [ɖʱĩɽo] ⓘ) is a meal prepared in Nepal. It is prepared by gradually adding flour to boiling water while stirring. It is a staple meal in various parts of Nepal, especially in the mountainous regions of Nepal[1] and the Sikkim and Darjeeling regions of India. Though it is a staple food in Nepal, dhindo has previously been seen as an inferior food compared to rice, and was associated with low status.[2] The inclusion of dhindo on urban restaurant menus has coincided with a rise in the food's prestige,[3] possibly attributable to the changing perception of Nepal's indigenous crops, which are now recognized for their nutritional advantage.[4]
