hello my readers,
As i have preiviously posted a blog on osmania biscuits so i've thought this time why not an irani chai.Drinking an osmania Biscuit in a cup of Irani chai is the ultimate test of provenance for all who claim to be Hyderabadis.
Irani cafes were originally opened by persian immigrants to india in the 19th century. Hyderabad boasts the largest number of Irani cafes, which are very popular for Irani chai
Servings: 3
Ingredients
Makes 3 cups:
4 cups of Full Fat milk
4 tbsp khoya/mawa or milkmaid (Condensed Milk)
2 tbsp sugar if you want more sweet, add more sugar. If you are adding milkmaid instead of khoya or mawa, decrease sugar.
3-4 green cardamom powder (elaichi)
1 inch Ginger grated (optional)
2 tbsp of tea powder
Method
Make a decoction of tea powder by adding 2 tbsp tea powder into 3 cups of boiling water.
Add cardamom powder, Ginger (if using) to the decoction.
Cover the vessel to prevent escaping steam.
Boil it for around 10-15 minutes.
It should reduce to half the quantity of the decoction.
On another burner, boil 4 cups of milk till it is reduced to 3 cups.
Add 4 tbsp of khoya / mawa / milkmaid and sugar to the reduced milk.
Boil it till khoya / milkmaid mixes with the milk completely and makes thick consistency.
Stir it frequently, add half cup of filtered decoction to the milk mixture.
