Chai

My mom has passed on to me all the tips for cooking and for the most parts I am pretty happy with my preparations (although cannot compare to mom's food). But chai has been my biggest stumbling block. It might seem simple but I just couldn't figure out how to make those "jhakaas" teas. Every time I got the feeling of nearly there but not quite.

So there... again with eternal thanks to mom.

Sunday will be mom's mutton biryani. Aich!!! :)
