The North East Frontier Provinces are beautiful,almost untouched and divine parts of India where waterfalls flow with all their fervour,myriad birds chirp with different songs,where unknown and utterly delicious fruit trees have made their home only to be available to the best of us who go there to discover unparalleled beauty.Each journey is a joy and each experience unique. The Indian North East Provinces are Assam,Arunachal Pradesh,Tripura,Mizoram and Meghalaya.Various tribes live there each having their own different culture and cuisine.The food in these areas is influenced from surrounding parts like West Bengal,parts of Bihar(where the State border ends),Nepal,Burma,China and Tibet.Recipes like Momos,Dim Sums,various kinds of dumplings,rice items and Noodle Soups form the basic diet for the populace.Apart from that Fish,Pork and other meats,game and some Insects are also had by the people there. Thukpa is a vegetarian Noodle Soup which is hearty,refreshing,filling and nutritious.Being a vegetarian I have skipped any form of meat but if you want you can add boiled,shredded chicken(or fried and shredded chicken),boiled flaked fish,cured pork or beef,cooked mutton/lamb or even leftovers to the broth. You can include other vegetables you like,mushrooms,Brussels Sprouts,bean sprouts,artichoke hearts and even canned beans to the broth.Ideal for pregnant and lactating mothers as they get carbs plus the added nutrition of vegetables,fish and meats and pregnant women can make this a one pot meal to satiate their cravings!
I will surely try this.
