ABOUT Thukpa RECIPE

Lets take a trip to North East Street Food. Nothing fancy, nothing exotic. At the same time the most pleasant meal that a person can have at a very low price. Thukpa, a perfect one pot meal. Sikkim as we know is well influenced by the Nepali food and Thukpa is one of the staple diets. Available at every nook and corner of the Sikkim and Arunachal Streets this is one of the most delicious meal I have ever had. The recipe for the Sikkimese Thukpa and Arunachal Thukpa differs (Arunachali Thukpa has more of a Tibetian influence where as Sikkimese Thukpa is influenced by the Nepali style). I prefer Sikkimese more to the other. My best friend Rekha Singh is a Nepali and who better than her to give me the authentic Nepali recipe for the same. Thanks darling… Without your help I wouldn’t have been successful at this. Love Ya! Well won’t say any further. Just go ahead and give this wonderful dish a try. Quick, filling and a tasty one pot meal.
