Zan

Bring the water to a gentle boil in a heavy-bottomed pot.

Add the salt and stir until dissolved.

Reduce the heat to low.

Gradually add the millet flour while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Continue stirring steadily as the mixture thickens.

Cook over low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.

Add the butter and mix thoroughly.

Continue cooking until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and dough-like.

Remove from the heat and allow it to rest for 2–3 minutes.

Serve hot in bowls or shape into portions using a spoon.

Traditionally, Zan is eaten with vegetable stews, meat curries, fermented products, or local chutneys.
