    You might want to try the millet based “phuk” stew that’s sold in a small stall near the main market. It’s thicker than the soup and often comes with a side of fresh chutney. A few steps from the viewpoint there’s a roadside shop that offers roasted chestnuts and a spicy millet porridge cooked in a clay pot quick and filling for a day of hiking. If you’re staying at Ziro Palace Inn, ask the front desk for the best spot to pick up a ready to eat millet porridge.
