kebabs, as tandoori chai has made its way to the foodie sphere.
If you love chai more than anything else,
chances are that you’ll always be excited by the different varieties of tea.
While some enjoy a simple black tea and some prefer green tea, others just love
the aroma of the one brimming with different spices and milk.
If you are one of those who love to take a chuski of masala chai every now and then, we are pretty sure you would drool over Tandoori chai as well.
And there can’t be a better time than the monsoon
season to give it a try (if you haven’t already). As the pitter-patter of
raindrops knocks at your window, brew a cup of tandoori chai, pair it with
piping hot pakodas, and enjoy the season as long as it lasts. Sounds like a
plan? Here’s how you can make it at home, without a tandoor.

The word ‘Tandoori’
refers to the process of cooking anything in a tandoor - a cylindrical clay or
metal oven that is dug up deep in the land. Traditionally, meat chunks or
vegetables are cooked over skewers with coal in them. The idea behind tandoori
chai is quite the same, but if this makes you think that it requires a huge
tandoor, wait till we tell you the recipe.
Tandoori chai has made its way to food enthusiasts, especially tea lovers, quite quickly after it got the buzz from a tea shop based in Pune, called 'Chai La,' serving this unique concoction. Its quirky preparation style made it an instant trend, wherein an empty kulhad or clay pot is pre-heated in a tandoor, and then half-cooked tea is poured into it. It eventually gets fully brewed.
How To Make Tandoori Chai At Home?
The process of making tandoori chai at home is quite simple. You would need a kulhad/earthen pot to make it at home. Make sure you make a little extra tea from the amount you need, as the process will spill a little. The preparation lends a very unique, earthy flavor to tea, along with a smoky taste that will surely refresh you after a tiring day.
