ABOUT Thukpa (Tibetan Noodle Soup) RECIPE

Thukpa is a Tibetan word used for any variety of soup cooked with noodles. It is originally a Tibetan dish which is flavourful and wholesome, but mild in taste. Though it’s mainly a Tibetan traditional dish, but it’s very famous among and widely consumed by people of Bhutan, Nepal and many parts of India – Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh. It’s a one-pot-meal filled with goodness of fresh veggies and thus contains high nutrition values. This is a comfort food and one of the most easy but wholesome soups available.
