Chai Masala

All treasures are hidden with the old & this golden secret chai masala recipe is from my nani, mami & my favorite bhabi. The proportions mention below are as original as described by them & they are beautifully perfect ;) 


Ingredient-Clove, Cardamon, Black Pepper, Cinnamon & Dried Ginger 


Clove same amount as Cardamon 


Cardamon same amount as Clove 


Black Pepper-a little more


Cinnamon-a small piece to add smell 


Dried Ginger-a little less


Take your favorite kootdani


Grind the spices to fine powder


Yes let some of it spill out, it looks beautiful & shows that you are really working & not just pretending


 To maintain the aroma of the masala keep it an air tight bottle


Today I had 4 cups of tea in one single day & I cant believe it & neither I can sleep so might will have one more of it ;) Enjoy...

    But on the other hand, you must drink all that delicious chai to celebrate another beautiful blog post. I simply love the gold lettering and the illustrations. Clap clap clap clap....
