Re: kashmiri tea and cuisine

the color sabz means green...yes...
but typically people call that pink tea...sabz chai.....not sure why...
the leaves start out green, but depending on how u cook it, it turns a pinkish shade

Re: kashmiri tea and cuisine

also kashmiri chai, is a light brown yellowish shade, made with alaichi and all that jazz...and it has no milk...totally yummy.

I remember walking around in the cold in Murree.....this little kid was going around selling kashmiri qava...delicious

They serve Kashmiri chai - the pink tea in Shalimaar. It's really good! I can't drink it everyday but once in a while it's great.

Also great to serve on a dawat.

Yes - green tea is different.

Thank you, shay and tlk, you pakistani blondes, take notes!

sabaz chai = pink/kashmir tea! When you two goto Pakistan, and ask for sabaz chai, what you'll get is kashmir tea, which is pink in color and tastes salty! If you want green tea, ask for kahva.

umm isn't making kashmiri chair a long process? as in once the ingredients are mixed together, you must stand over the pot and constantly stir the mixture until it's ready?

Re: kashmiri tea and cuisine

^ Spock you are right - these are different types of kashmiri chais.

recipes are a bit different so they result in the different colors. I believe some have soda in them and the others have salt.

I think they were just correcting your Urdu that subz not equal to pink

If any of you are in Boston/Cambridge… Tealuxe has a WONDERFUL kashmiri chai. Perfect for cold winter days like today. Alas, I’m in ny.

Re: kashmiri tea and cuisine

p.s. for the BESTEST green tea in the world, you have to goto the historic Kissa Khawani Bazaar Peshawar.
