MASALA CHAI
Chai is my all time any time hot drink. Immediately after landing India I crave for my masala chai . I have been living in Canada for now more than 16 yrs but still never got that same taste like back home chai. Classic and flavorful Masala Chai is enjoyed best when we are with our family enjoying gossips, having fun with friends or on a long drive with your loved ones on a cool winter day.
The main ingredients of masala tea are cardamon, Cloves, Fennel seeds, dry ginger powder,
Pani Puri also called as Golguppa is a very popular street food. This is a round hollow shaped puri ( very small puffed fried) stuffed with mixture of potatoes onions chick peas along with spices. Dipped in sweet or sour spicy water to enjoy the taste of water and spicy flavours mixed with Tamarind or Mint chutney . Pani Puri is available almost all the streets of Indian cities but some cities have different names.
