Masala Chai For Click
2008-07-16 03:59:00 I have been quite disappointed with the pictures I am able to take in my apartment in Singapore. The kitchen does not have any windows so I set up a small table in the washing area. The natural light there in the morning is too bright and in the evening is too dull. I have tried in vain to produce some decent coffee and tea pics but failed, so here I am, posting an old one.I had made this Masala Chai for a previous version of MBP. I still make this tea on and off, when I am in the right mood, mostly when its raining. This is my entry to this month's Click Event - Coffee and Tea.Masala Chai for Click
Masala Chai - Spiced Indian Tea
2008-03-26 09:21:00 This was my original entry idea for MBP this month, focussing on Mixed Drinks. I slightly digressed and posted the spiced buttermilk instead. Blame it on the weather. After the summer showers, Hyderabad is cooler now and a hot cup of malasa chai is just what we crave. The recipe is from none other than Asha from her awesome blog, Foodie's Hope.Whenever I make tea, I add either ginger or cardamom, but never both, leave alone other spices. It just never occurred to me, though I have all the common spices in my kitchen at all times. This was such an obvious yet brilliant idea and I really relished the drink.Here is how I made it: (adapted from Asha's recipe here)Boil 1 tbsp tea leaves in half cup water. Add 2 cloves, 1 cardamom, a few cinnamon pieces and some grated ginger. Add 1 cup milk and bring to boil again. Do not boil for too long, simmer add required amount of sugar and remove from fire. Serve hot.This too goes over to Sig's MBP - Mixed Drinks. I am so glad she extended the ...
Indian Masala Chai
2007-10-25 22:06:00 Author: Arbor TeasOriginal Source: TraditionsMasala Chai (simply referred to as ?Chai?) has been a tradition throughout India for centuries. This spicy hot beverage is a brew of Indian black tea with a unique blend of spices, typically including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom and pepper, although the recipe varies region to region. Chai is consumed morning and afternoon by many Indian families, and is customarily the first thing offered to houseguests. So prevalent is the service of Chai throughout India that baristas, known as Chaiwallahs, can be found at just about every corner. These chai vendors are a staple of the community and their stands are often a source of news and gossip.

Masala Chai
2007-04-28 01:42:00 If you've never had your Chai 'cutting' style (or a strong, sweet coffee), chances are you weren't very loved by your Puneri friends. In all my days spent at Vaishali (which would probably be each day I was a student at Fergusson and most days after that) I never had the good fortune of having an entire cup of tea. Every time the waiter brought you your cup of tea, chances are that you'd have at least 2 empty glasses (one of them probably cracked) shoved right next to your cup. Just so you could 'cut' the chai by two. Chai never tastes as sweet in a styrofoam cup at Starbucks or even your own kitchen in New York City. Chai can only be enjoyed when one cup is divided into as many parts as there are people at the table. May there be more people at your table then the cups of ChaiIngredients:1 cup water2 tsp sugar3/4 tsp black Indian tea1/2 inch cube of ginger (crushed)3-4 whole cardamoms (crushed)A small piece of cinnamonPinch of black pepper3-4 pistils of saffronMilkIngredien...
