Irani Chai

"Teas: The difference in Irani chai and rest of the tea style made in India varies in the making process. The tea leaves are boiled in a separate container along with water and milk is also boiled in separate container. Then while serving to the customers they pour in first the milk then the liquid solution made out of tea leaves. This process is seen in many places which still retain that Iranian touch. The taste of Irani chai is the same whether you go in the morning, afternoon or late evening."

-> I miss Irani Chai & namkeen biscuits. Every time I'm back home I make it a point to pay a visit to Irani cafe near my parent's place. Speaking of Hyderabad special, a colleague of mine brought another popular item from Hyd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karachi_Bakery

why are you not having nepali chai instead? this shows your bias against hindus.

Agreed. Irani chai, karachi fruit biscuits, hyderabadi dum biryani and haleem are to die for.

I don't know why those Karachi fruit biscuits are popular, they don't even taste that great. I'm probably biased against them though. We had a never ending supply of those, and every time we were down to the last few, I had to trek to get another box. Which gave me just enough time to pick up my mother's favorite magazine from the street side shop, and read the stories and serials that we weren't allowed to, on the way back home.

For my parents two mandatory items, Pulla Reddy sweets & Karachi Bakery biscuits, they don't ever forget to bring. My kids developed a taste for them too.

The first thing I do when I meet up with old friends in Hyd is to drink Chai at the same old dirty cafe with smoke and grime filling the place, a hundred different voices chatting excitedly, waiters keeping a poker face as they handle orders from various tables for Chai, empty cups, Osmani biscuits, chota samosa, etc.
They boil the milk a lot, till it gets a brownish color. And they also add condensed milk to it.
