Once the broth starts boiling bring down to medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes or little more. Turn to low and boil for another 25-30 mins for a better and tastier thukpa.
Add 3 more cup of water to the broth and bring to a boil on high heat (another 5 mins). Once the broth starts boiling add in the radish, carrots, broccoli florets, black pepper powder and cook for almost 3 mins.
