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...
4 cups of tea? That is 2 entire packets of FULL FAT Good Life milk!!! OMG!
ReplyDeleteBut 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....
Its only 3/4 of milk per cup, its difficult to hv the half half proportion for me I guess. Thank you priya ;)
