| Procedure of Use | Dhoriya spreads dried "ganda baval" pods over the ground in the sun and sprinkles a solution of salt over them. A very thin film of salt gets coated on evaporation of the water. The cattle lap up the salted pods and are able to digest them without much difficulty. Thus they survive through scarcity. |
