No matter what the question is, a tea aficionado’s answer will always be “chai”. Be it a bad day, a casual stroll or an occasion to celebrate, chai lovers just need a “garam chai ki pyaali” to feel at ease. Needless to say, India’s chai obsession has given way to a number of culinary experiments with the humble beverage. Not only can one find a chai shop at every nook and corner of the country, but we have also come across a myriad of interesting versions by street vendors made to impress chai aficionados.
If you want a clear insight on the same, you can take a look at the recent trends on the internet: from Roohafza chai to butter chai. While chai has had Indians hooked to it, these bizarre versions in the name of experimentation have surely displeased us. We hate to break this to you but there is another chai trend that has confused netizens. This version of chai is called “herb chai”. We know the first thing to cross your mind after reading this must be “kaali chai with pudina” but let us tell you that this is milky chai with some unfamiliar herbs in it. Don’t believe us? Take a look yourself:
As we can see in this video uploaded by the Instagram food blogger @_chow._.down_, a street vendor is making chai with some unfamiliar herbs that do not go into normal chai. Many viewers have guessed that it's either coriander leaves or spinach in the chai. Ever since the video was uploaded, it has gathered around 1.8 million views, 72k views and hundreds of comments. Take a look at some of the comments:
“Chai bana raha hai ya paya banara”
“Chacha thodi haldi, mirchi aur dhaniya powder bhi daal dete”
“Hey wait🤨🤨 kya wo palak tha🤯🤯 maaa humka e gola pr ni rahna😔”
