  2. Dhigh (Buttermilk): This was also used with bread as daily meal. Traditionally, this was prepared by putting  yogurt in Yazn (made from goat or sheep skin). Which was shaken or rolled on the ground until butter forms. An alternate method uses  Sughu (a tall, narrow wooden cylinder) and Pidhar (a long, thick pole) in a process much like churning butter. Nowadays, dhigh is prepared in China made equipments.
