Alison HawkeMy friend who recently got back from Bangalore tried my masala chai mix and pronounced it the best he's had outside India, and better than some IN India!
Masala Chai!
I've been making my own masala chai (spiced tea, मसाला चाय) from this Nik Sharma recipe, using his chai masala (tea spice) recipe with a few modifications. Spice blend: * 1 tsp ground ginger * 6 green cardamom pods * 3 whole black peppercorns * 3 whole cloves * ½ tsp whole fennel seeds
