I can understand "Biryani" but why is the "Irani Chai" so famous in hyderabad?

Question

Does someone know how it is made or what special ingredients are added in it? I know there any many people who just swear by it's taste. Personally I feel it's too sweet for my taste.

Answer 1

because it has good taste

Answer 2

what do you understand by 'Biryani'  ??

Answer 3

because the first chai khanas or tea cafes were opened by irani immigrants and they served delicious and cheap tea,,irani chai is made by boiling tea leaves in water adding sugar and then milk in the end ,they also use a special spice mix  consisting of cardamom ,clove cinnamon etc

Answer 4

Yes, you are right. It is too sweet. But, in some Irani hotels, it is not so. But, many get used to drinking that tea, after a few visits. How far it is true I cannot vouch for, but many friends there say that some substance which is mixed in the tea would cause addiction. The casual one time visitor becomes more or less a permanent customer there.

Answer 5

I have seen different opinions on this question in yahoo answers, being from Hyderabad, I add that there is nothing in it which cause addiction., its the taste which makes people to drink it with choice.  The ingredients are Tea leaves(some special blend), Milkmaid, milk and sugar. The taste comes also becoz of the milkmaid which makes the tea thick when mixed with milk.  So that is why people like it very much and moreover Hyderabadi  cuisine is famous, around the world.

Answer 6

:) Yup Its Really Tastey I just Love It Actully they just put milk in black T......
