In my earlier blog of Champaran Mutton recipe I mentioned my dhaba cuisine experiences in 2021. One of such new sensational experience was when I sipped a kulhad of Tandoor Chai. I knew instantly that I have to recreate this recipe in my kitchen. Here is my recipe based on what I watched in the dhaba and made in my way.
