Known for its spicy and slippery texture, Laphing, like momos, has found its way to the heart of the Indian palate. The street food, that can be consumed in a variety of ways, is supposed to traditionally be spicy, cold in nature, in the form of a plain flour noodle dish and originates from Tibetan cuisine. Garnished with chilli oil, vinegar, etc, this spicy delight now have the Doonites craving!
While there a number of laphing spots popping in the midst of a host of markets in Dehradun, the culture and vibe that is set by the city's Tenzin Kitchen is praise-worthy!
Located at Sahasthradhara road, Tibet colony, it is here that you can enjoy the taste of this authentic Tibetan dish. At the authentic kitchen, an adorable elderly woman, who has got the internet talking of her skill and cuteness, serves mouthwatering laphing.
Pro-tip: Go early to avoid missing out, as her laphing sells like hotcakes!
