A cup of hot Masala Chai is enjoyed by many Indians first thing in the morning to kick-start their day, or in the evenings to unwind and relax. Allam Chair or Adrak Chai is popular in Hyderabad and also Telangana.
It also pairs well with biscuits, breads or Indian snacks like pakoras. Masala Chai is made by first boiling water and adding whole spices like green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger and fennel seeds.
Then tea leaves are added and the mix is allowed to brew. Next, milk is added and the tea brews for some more time till the desired colour is achieved. Many people also add sugar or jaggery to sweeten their cup of Masala Chai.
