Re: kashmiri Chai...
I think it's like normal tea but with a pinch of bicarbonate of soda added.....that's what makes it pink.

Re: kashmiri Chai...
nope its not. Its made quite differently. Feminazi, I will post the recipe later. I have to check my cookbook ...(ammi's instruction for his son before he left Pak).
Re: kashmiri Chai...
You basically have to make it using green tea leaves warna recipe is same as normal tea. And you have to cook it for a long time after adding the milk to the tea in the tea pot aur chai ko "uchaalna" paRta hae, means take a lil doi/cooking spoon and kind of lift the chai in the air and then drop it back and then lift again, drop again and so on. Cook & Uchaal for a long time to get that right pink color, otherwise it will be brown not pink.
If you want to get the pink color quikly without uchaaling u can pur baking soda aik chutki.
Also, you can sprinkle finely shredded badaam and pista on the top if you want after u've poured it out in a cup.
Some people put honey instead of sugar in it in the end when its cooked.
Re: kashmiri Chai…

Re: kashmiri Chai…

btw, the green tea which u get for kashmiri chai....i think its a specifc type of green tea (not sure but i think u cant just use the normal green tea for it...but maybe u can...not sure)... i got this Tapal green tea which says Green/Kashmiri tea or something like that on the packet...but basically it specifies on the packet that u can use it to make Kashmiri chai
Re: kashmiri Chai...
Irem, that uchalna part is the most fun. We used those big soup ladles. Hehe.
Re: kashmiri Chai…
i tired it out with the the normal green tea. N it turned out to b so :yukh: , i secretly drained it into the sink, without anyones knowledge.
How does the kashmiri tea leaves look like, i mean the green tea has these really small curled leaves, which when u pour into hot water, unwrap into proper leaves…
and please mujhay miqdaar say bhi agah ki jiyah ga… shukriyah
