Dum Ki Chai @Frazer Town

This quaint little tea shop (Taj Tea House) located on MM-Road, Frazer town is known for best dum ki chai and sulaimani chai. A cup or two of hot brewed concoction with irani samosas and biscuits is simply addictive and nostalgic.

Interesting facts and history behind Dum ki Chai or Irani Chai was introduced to us by persian immigrants. The original vessel to boil the chai is a combination of copper, brass and iron.

Tea leaves are added with water in the vessel, a tight fitting lid is placed to lock all the aromas, for almost 2 hours the chai is boiled on very low flame.

For 5 Liters of Chai concoction, 25 liters of milk will boil to thick consistency. For every glass, 30 ML Chai...60 ML Milk will be combined with sugar and served hot. Sometimes people also refer this as 90ml chai.

Completely contrast chai here is the sulaimani chai, basically a lime tea with a twist. A combination of tea leaves, tulsi / basil, mint, lime juice and rock candy is boiled and served hot with mint and tulsi garnished. People swear by the healing properties of sulaimani chai, be it headache or common cold people flock here for a cup of sulaimani chai. this chai is rejuneavating packed with flavors and unique taste.
