Harshad, we love hearing about your Grandmother's "gauti chai" and would like to learn more about this medicinal grass. it is another testament to grandmothers being at the core of masal chai origins. thanks for sharing your family recipe, too--just wish we had some gauti chai to create it here. it’s great to hear your comments and from new visitors, too!

I am myself a chai lover n I have atleast 4 cups of masala chai daily. Even I prepare my own version of masala chai. I stayed in Mumbai for about 2 yrs and in this part of India they generally make tea and flavour with ginger and cardamon. Some people use dry ginger powder, it gives a totally different aroma. My grandmother has her own version, which we call as "Gauti chai" Its a specie of grass which we get in winters in Nagpur, India, my native place. It has great medicinal properties and gives you relief from cold n cough. If you want. I can try and find out the name of the grass or may be send u a pic of that. My masala chai receipe(borrowed from my mother- her grandmother and ...) - Pour some water in a pot to boil. - add required amount of sugar - when the sugar dissolves, add chai, 1 teaspoon per cup, and "gauti chai" to it - let it boil for about 3-4 minutes - Add ginger to it - add about 1/5th of milk -simmer it for 2-3 mins Here is you "gauti masala chai" ready I hope u wud enjoy this one !
