Ever tried Mumbai cutting chai? Don't miss out on it! Mumbai Cutting Chai is a popular tea blend from the streets and corner stalls of Mumbai. It is a strong milk tea blend created using strong, fine quality CTC tea grains and two exotic Indian spices - cardamom & ginger.

A "cutting chai" is a half order of tea, often implying a single whole order is shared among friends. Mumbai's Cutting Chai is incomplete without biscuits, Parle-G in particular.

Food is not simply stuff that people eat when they are hungry. Food is awesome, delicious, inventive, colorful, inspiring, and so much more. Food binds us together. You have no idea how much it means to me when you tell me that you made a recipe and loved it. My heart fills with joy. Literally.
