How to make Chai
by Inesh Pinto, curry trader

Many people ask me about how to make good chai. It's something we do well, because it is our tradition. Making chai needs good patience as it can take a long time. Please be good to use power tea and spices. Now I tell about how good chai is done.

ゆで卵チャイを準備している最も簡単な伝統的な方法は、ゆるんだ葉茶、甘味料、および全体のスパイスでミルクと水の混合物を活動的にとろとろ煮ることまたは煮沸消毒することです。 多くの家庭は彼ら自身を混合するけれども、インドの市場は、「チャイゆで卵」〈この目的のために〉様々なブランドを世界中で売ります。 固体の茶とスパイス残留物は、役立ちの前にゆで卵チャイからオフに張られます。

方法は味またはローカルなカスタムに従って変わるかもしれません: 例えば、開始の時にいくつかの家庭が成分のうちのすべてを一緒に結合できて、混合物を沸騰に持って来、そして、直ちに張り、役立ちます;他は、混合を、より長い量の時間の間煮えたぎるように放置できます、または、終わりごろに、茶の葉を沸騰に持って来てスパイスを開始し、追加するだけであってください(または逆もまた同様)。


伝統的なゆで卵チャイは、サポート、いわゆる「温暖」スパイスで醸造された強くスパイスを加えられた飲み物です。 ほとんどのゆで卵チャイは以下のうちの1つ以上を含んでいます: カルダモン、シナモン、ショウガ、星アニス、コショウの実、およびクローブ。

伝統的に、カルダモンは支配的な注です。 インドのゆで卵混合物と料理は、一般的にクローブ、ショウガ、黒コショウなどの他のスパイスも使います; 最近の2は楽しく辛い風味を追加します。 例えば、インドでは、新鮮なショウガは通常使われます。

しかし、西インドでは、ミント葉は、主要な成分 間 星アニス と考えられて 黒コショウ 、シナモンは明確にavoided.[引用]です チャイのカシミール人バージョンが[必要であった] 紅茶の代わりに緑茶によって醸造されて、香辛料のより微妙なブレンドを持っている : アーモンド、カルダモン、シナモン、クローブと時々サフラン。

他の可能な成分は、ナツメグ、バラ香辛料(ルーズリーフ式の茶とともにバラの花びらが沸かされる所)、またはカンゾウ根を含みます。


The simplest traditional method of preparing masala chai is to actively simmer or boil a mixture of milk and water with loose leaf tea, sweeteners, and whole spices. Indian markets all over the world sell various brands of "chai masala,"for this purpose, though many households blend their own. The solid tea and spice residues are strained off from masala chai before serving.

The method may vary according to taste or local custom: for example,some households may combine all of the ingredients together at the start, bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately strain and serve;others may leave the mixture simmering for a longer amount of time, or begin by bringing the tea leaves to a boil and only add the spices toward the end (or vice-versa).


The traditional masala chai is a bracing, strongly spiced beverage brewed with so-called "warm" spices. Most masala chai incorporates one or more of the following: cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, star anise, peppercorn, and cloves.

Traditionally, cardamom is a dominant note. Indian masala mixtures and cuisine also commonly use other spices such as cloves, ginger, or black pepper; the latter two add a pleasantly piquant flavour. In India, for example, fresh ginger is usually used.

However, in Western India, mint leaves are considered a major ingredient, while star anise, black pepper and cinnamon are expressly avoided. The Kashmiri version of chai is brewed with green tea instead of black tea and has a more subtle blend of flavorings: almonds, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and sometimes saffron.

Other possible ingredients include nutmeg, rose flavouring (where rose petals are boiled along with the loose-leaf tea), or liquorice root.

I am selling curry in Japan ( Curry Favor Company ) and I recommend to drink tea with it, a perfect match!! In Japan, I do trading with a local tea company and they kindly told me some news about tea.

For many people, England and tea are inseparable.

However, how long has tea been the drink of favour there?

What was drunk before this?

When did it arrive? Who first added milk?

To find the answers to these and some other fascinating facts about tea, read on...

The samosa is a popular North Indian snack, and now commonly found in other parts of India, Central Asia, North America, Britain and the Middle East. A common variety is filled with boiled, fried, or mashed potato. Other fillings include minced meat, cheese (paneer), mushroom (khumbi), and chick pea.

The staple food of most of North India is a variety of lentils, vegetables, and roti (wheat based bread). The varieties used and the method of preparation can vary from place to place. Popular snacks, side-dishes and drinks include mirchi bada, buknu, bhujiya, chaat, kachori, imarti, several types of pickles (known as achar), murabba, sharbat, aam panna and aam papad. Popular sweets are known as mithai (means sweetmeat in Hindi), such as gulab jamun, jalebi, peda, petha, rewadi, gajak, bal mithai, singori, kulfi, falooda, khaja, ras malai, gulkand, and several varieties of laddu, barfi and halwa.

Some common North Indian foods such as the various kebabs and most of the meat dishes originated with Muslims’ incursions into the country. Considering their shared historic and cultural heritage, Pakistani cuisine and North Indian cuisine are very similar.
