We, Indians, follow our chai time like a sacred ritual. As soon as we get over all the house chores or office meetings, we quickly make a cup of chai to sit back and relax. And since we love this concoction, we have our own recipes to make chai. Some may like it with more milk, some with less, and others may like it with no sugar. While these combinations are endless, we generally use the same ingredients to make our tea. However, every once in a while, we come across a chai recipe that leaves us flabbergasted. Recently, one such chai experiment has been doing the rounds on the internet. If you are wondering what this is about, allow us to tell you. This time, a street vendor was seen making rasgulla chai.
