This is the Arunachalese version of Thukpa. I had my first thukpa at a momo hut in Bangalore. That place was run by Tibetans and I was in love with their minimal use of oil and spices and the way they could still make healthy wholesome meals. When I discussed this with a friend from Arunachal he boasted he could do a better job and that's how he taught me this thukpa when he visited my home. The best part about this recipe is that it is wholesome, one pot meal and because it is mildly spiced it is suitable for kids as well.
