It is also called as Teemo. Tigmo is a combination of stewed vegetables and bread made from fermented dough. The stew is made from local vegetables and also has a non-vegetarian twist. It is served hot and is a savior in the chilling weather of Leh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Momos<\/span><\/h2>\n

Momos are the dumplings made of flour and stuffed with vegetables, noodles, or meat. You can also try steamed momos in hot noodle soup. Although momos are available throughout India, in Leh, you will find the version inspired by Tibetan cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a noodle soup inspired by <\/span>Tibetan cuisine<\/span><\/a>. The broth is prepared from onion, ginger, garlic, and other vegetables present in the region. Soy-sauce is also integral to this dish. The noodles are added to the dish, one the soup starts to boil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chhurpi<\/span><\/h2>\n

Chhurpi is the cheese made from yak\u2019s milk. Lemon or other citrus fruit is added to milk in the process of making chhurpi. It is a side dish and a dip, but one cannot resist eating it heartful. It is available in three flavors- sweet, salty, and plain. You can also bring home some for enjoying later. <\/span><\/p>\n

Khambir<\/span><\/h2>\n

It is the local bread and a must try dish on your Leh trip. It tastes like a roti or chapati but is a thicker version of it. People like eating Khambir with tea made from yak\u2019s milk. It goes well with simply butter or any gravy.<\/span><\/p>\n
