Other than a few urban areas, Nepal is mostly an agricultural land where villagers heavily depend on domestic animals, such as cows and oxen, for milk products and ploughing land. Goats, sheep, chicken, and ducks are also raised for meat and fertilizer. All this means that animals are an important part of the villagers’ lives. So, when corn is milled, the villagers separate the coarsely milled corn for chiyakhla and the powdery flour for dhido or for feeding animals.
Since the powdery flour has corn germs and other fivers, this is more nutritious than the chiyakhala flour. This is one of the reasons you may find most of the animals in villages looking healthier than their keepers!
