#Thupka – A Soupy noodles from North-East India

 

#Thukpa is a #Tibetan noodle soup, which originated in the eastern part of Tibet, now in China. It’s work as ‘tranquillity of intestine’ as well as calms your mind. The best part is, it’s full of nutrition ingredients. I tried it in an authentic place ‘Sikkim house’ & a restaurant called ‘Tibetan delight’, in Kolkata, otherwise one can have it in North east India, Nepal or Bhutan.

Thukpa is a traditional Tibetan noodle soup that is also popular in various regions of the Himalayas, including Nepal, Bhutan, and parts of India. It is a hearty and comforting dish often enjoyed during cold weather.

Thukpa typically consists of wheat or rice noodles, mixed with vegetables, meat, or seafood, and a flavorful broth. The choice of ingredients can vary, but commonly used vegetables include carrots, cabbage, bok choy, and onions. Meat options may include chicken, beef, or pork, while seafood options can include shrimp or fish.

The broth is usually made by simmering meat or bones with a combination of spices, such as ginger, garlic, and turmeric, along with other seasonings like soy sauce or chili paste. This creates a rich and flavorful base for the soup.

Thukpa is known for its versatility, and it can be customized according to personal taste. Some variations may include adding tomatoes, mushrooms, or additional herbs and spices for added flavor. It is often garnished with chopped cilantro, spring onions, and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice before serving.

Thukpa is not only delicious but also a nourishing dish that provides warmth and sustenance in the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas. It has gained popularity beyond its place of origin and can be found in Tibetan and Himalayan restaurants in various parts of the world.
