2. Next add the tomato puree along with little salt and mix.Cook til oil seeps out and then add the potatoes along with paprika,Turmeric and also add the chicken pieces.Cover and cook .( If you are using chicken make it into small  boneless bite size pieces so that it cooks fast.I used the chicken stock with cooked chicken in it.

3. Next add the  water/chicken stock.I added the chicken stock and little sugar. As potato takes more time to cook so I added it before.Now I will add the carrots and cabbage and mushroom as it won't take much time to cook.Also add the salt as per your taste .Add the white and green parts of spring onion towards the end reserving some for garnishing.Cover and let the soup simmer on medium low heat.

4.When almost done add the Kopan Masala or Tibetan spice mix and the cooked noodle and simmer again for few minutes.
