The story takes place in Ladakh!
The climate of Ladakh is cold and dry. It snows quite frequently and is heavy sometimes! This tells us that even in Summer, Ladakh is quite cold.
- Have you ever visited/lived in a place of extreme cold?
- Imagine how it feels to drink a cup of hot chocolate or a hot bowl of maggi on a cold and rainy day. How does that feel?
- Doesn’t it bring warmth to you and make you feel cozy?
- Now imagine- Thukpa is a dish containing hot soup and noodles- how must it feel to eat this on a cold and snowy day?
It is a form of comfort food! What does that mean?
Food that provides a feeling of well-being and is associated with childhood or home cooking is called comfort food.
What is your comfort food? It may be from any cuisine, it may be homemade or made elsewhere.
