Add salt, oil and turmeric powder (only if using white noodles). • Add noodles and boil for 8–10 minutes, until almost cooked but still firm (al dente). • Drain them, drizzle a little oil, and let them cool naturally. 💨 Cooling under a fan works even better. ✅Tip : Do not rinse the noodles.❌ Rinsing stops the cooking instantly, can make noodles firm or rubbery, and washes away surface starch and subtle wheat flavor. 2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken Stock (Flavourful Soup) • Heat oil in a deep pot. • Add crushed ginger, garlic and celery (optional). Saute for about 1 minute until aromatic. • Add spring onion (roughly cut), chicken pieces(with bone), water, salt, aromatic powder (or MSG), black pepper and tomato seeds (trimmed). • Cover and boil on medium heat for 30–40 minutes. • Once cooked, remove the chicken pieces, separate the meat from the bones and strain the stock. • Bring the strained stock back to a boil, adjust salt, and add chopped coriander for freshness just before serving. 3️⃣ Prepare the Chicken Topping • Heat oil in a kadai or pan. • Add chopped ginger and garlic, saute until fragrant. • Add onion slices and saute. • Add boiled chicken, salt, black pepper and chilli powder. Saute for 3–4 minutes. • Add carrot julienne and saute for another 1 minute. • Add soy sauce (optional), tomato julienne and chopped spring onion. Mix everything well and switch off the heat. ✅Tip: The stock provides about 80% of the flavor in this recipe. If you prefer a healthier version, you can simply use the boiled chicken as topping. 4️⃣ Assemble the Thukpa • Add boiled noodles to a serving bowl. • Pour hot chicken stock over the noodles. • Top with prepared chicken, chopped onion, green chilli and fresh coriander. • Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of vinegar before serving. ✅Darjeeling-style tip: In Darjeeling, we often add a spoon of momo chutney directly into the bowl of thukpa for extra heat and flavour(momo chutney link below👇). Mix well and enjoy this pure winter comfort bowl ❄️ 📸Check out my other momo recipes too: 🎥Nepali jhol momos recipe Link👉[   • Asli Nepali Jhol Momos Ka Secret🇳🇵 | Authe...  ] 🎥Authentic Nepali Chicken Momos Link :👉[   • Juicy Nepali Chicken Momos 🥟 | नेपाली चिकन...  ] 🎥Darjeeling Style Chicken Momos Link :👉[   • Juicy Chicken Momos Banane Ka Asan Tarika ...  ] 🎥Signature Nepali Momos Chutney Link :👉 [   • Signature Nepali Momos Chutney Recipe | मो...  ] 🎥Restaurant Style Chicken Momos Link :👉 [   • Restaurant Style Chicken Momos Recipe | जू...  ] 🎥Street Style Veg Momos Link :👉 [   • Delicious Nepali Veg Momos Recipe🥟 | नेपाल...  ] 🎥Juicy Mutton Momos Link :👉[   • Juicy Nepali Mutton Momos 🥟 | 🇳🇵नेपाली मटन...  ] __________________________________________ #ChickenThukpa #ThukpaRecipe #DarjeelingFood #WinterFood #NoodleSoup #TibetanThukpa #NepaliThukpa #IndianWinterFood #IndianHomeCooking
