作法
- 厚底鍋將水煮至大滾，加鹽。
- 轉中火，一次倒入所有麵粉，立刻用打蛋器奮力攪拌避免結塊。混合物會迅速變成濃稠粥狀。
- 改用木匙持續用力攪拌 6 分鐘——dhindo 會從生粉灰紫色轉為光亮深褐、能與鍋邊分離的緊實糊。
- 轉最小火，蓋鍋 10 分鐘——dhindo 完全熟透並讓味道發展，期間偶爾翻動避免黏底。
- 試味：若仍有生粉味，再煮 5 分鐘。拌入酥油。
- 趁熱舀到盤上——dhindo 凝固很快。配蔬菜咖哩、gundruk 湯、新鮮 achar 與一點酥油享用。用手撕一塊沾咖哩入口。dhindo 必須當餐吃完，重新加熱會變硬如橡膠。

文化背景
Dhindo 是尼泊爾山區的主食——這些區域歷史上米價高昂或不易取得，蕎麥與小米才是當地主糧。這道料理多與馬嘉、古隆等族群有關，現在城市尼泊爾人也視之為比白飯更健康的選擇。蕎麥版本較多見於低海拔山區，小米版則出現在更高海拔。現代加德滿都餐廳當作「鄉土風」端上桌。
