Thukpa is one of the favorite food items in north-east india specially in manipur, arunachal pradesh, Sikkim, tripura, mizo etc

If you are vegetarian you can have it with with chopped cabbages, carrots etc. I don't know much about it.


Making Procedure

Fry chopped onions with garlic and green chilies, then add minced meat, fry for 10 min. Add salt to taste. Then keep aside after cooking.

Boil 4 litre of water vigorously and drop noodles, boil for 2 min, stirring occasionally.

Drain the noodles through a large sieve and run cold water over them to stop them from sticking. Squeeze the water from the noodles and transfer to a serving bowl.

Pour hot soup into bowl with noodles.

Put fried meat-onion mixture and finely chopped green onion
leaves on top of it.

Thukpa is ready to serve hot.


and having it with imported Lhasa beer makes you feel lost.


look they have just had the thukpa i mentioned, see how happy they are



check the small boy(or girl) carrying the plate which is just too big for him. He must be crazy about thukpas.


Traditional way of having thukpa with tea . Tea was later replaced with beer.

thanks for showcasing Thukpa...

Its a special bhutani-sikkimi-bhutia dish and i love it in Nainital...

Bhutia-Tibeti people bought it with themselves.

The best thukpa is that of Chicken.
And that does best with Bhutani beer, like DRUK


A bhutani beer can stand upto big whiskies and rums of todays times..
.. and yes Thukpa does best..
