Tibetans are eternally grateful to India for the refuge! In return, besides the presence of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, economic boost, military support, etc. we shared our culinary delicacies like Momo, Laphing, Thukpa, etc - popular street-foods helping many Indian families sustain #ThankYouIndia

Thukpa, the perfect Tibetan hotpot that found its place in Indian kitchens

Thukpa is a Tibetan soup, but is also a staple in Sikkim, Darjeeling and Arunachal Pradesh.
