This is a one pot meal  you can relish as a dinner on a cold night .The  light soup smoking hot with noodles ,meat and vegetables tender and juicy in it will make you feel warm and cozy .You can drizzle the soup with black pepper or green chilies if you want to spice up. This is a popular food in the Tibet and hilly regions situated in the foot hills of Himalayas. Tibetan cuisine has influence of both India and China in their food. Red meat obtained from lamb and yak are more popular than chicken. Whether for the family in the afternoon  or for feeding a group of  hungry guests the people living in these hills quickly cook up this tasty nutritious meal in their kitchen. I had this soup quite often when I traveled to Gangtok ,the capital of Sikkim. The regions of North Bengal and Sikkim are quite close to my heart as North Bengal was my maternal grandparent’s place where i used to spent my school vacations during my teenage years.
