Tongbaतोङ्बा
Cooked finger millet is mixed with a dry starter (khesung or murcha), left to sweeten and then sealed to ferment into a mildly alcoholic mash (kodo ko jaanr). For tongba the mash is packed into a bamboo or wooden vessel, topped with hot water and sipped through a bamboo straw, and the vessel is refilled with hot water several times. Made in 6 steps over 6.1 months – 6.3 months. The longest step, store to mature, takes 6 months (Majumder S 2022). Yeasts Pichia anomala, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida glabrata and Saccharomycopsis fibuligera and Lactic acid bacteria Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lactobacillus bifermentans do most of the fermenting.

Hot water · Poured over the fermented millet in the vessel, three or four times[majumder2022]

What makes this one different
Tongba is the way the Limbu serve kodo ko jaanr. The fermented millet is not strained or diluted into a beer; hot water is poured over it in the vessel and sipped through a filter straw, again and again.
Thumba (West Bengal)Boiled millet inoculated with yeast and fermented about 10 days in bamboo sections with frequent turning; the liquid on top is drawn off and cooled to drink.
Safety
In 40 market samples of kodo ko jaanr, no Enterobacteriaceae, Bacillus cereus or Staphylococcus aureus were found.
