Dhuchnir Doi of Barni is a special variety of yogurt originating from Borni Union in the Baralekha Upazila of Moulvibazar District.[1] It is prepared from the milk of cows and buffaloes. This yogurt is uniquely set in a traditional cylindrical bamboo basket known as a Dhusni or Dhuchni, which gives it its distinctive name Dhuchnir Doi of Barni (Bornir Dhuchnir Doi).[2][3]
Tradition
Women from the Hakaluki Haor area of Barni Union collect buffalo milk and then boil it for three to four hours.[1] The milk is considered ready for yogurt-making once it thickens and turns a deep brownish colour.[4] This milk is then poured into small baskets made of bamboo and cane, locally known as dhusoi or dhuchni, whose pores are sealed with a coating of wheat flour. The yogurt is set in these baskets.[2] The uniqueness of this yogurt is not just in the name of the container, but also in its taste because it is made from pure milk.[5] This yogurt is particularly popular in Juri (Moulvibazar), Sylhet, and Golapganj.[6]
