Iranian chai
イランチャイ

Sunil’s day starts with a couple of Iranian chai which is served in the nearby shop. So after I move to Hyderabad, I also started go there with him. This chai is versy sweets but very addictive. (I can manage not to have another one but Sunil can’t!) It is only 10 rupee!

They also serve some breakfasts and snacks. Their Masala dosa is crispy and not bad at all and it is only 20 rupee. I cannot believe how much I used to pay for a Masala dosa in London…

We tried a few other Iranian chai nearby cafes and restaurants but this is still Sunil’s favorite place at the moment.

This is what it said about Iranian chai in timecity.com.

Iranian chai in Hyderabad

Origin: There is an interesting story behind Irani chai’s origin in Hyderabad. It is said that Persian immigrants came to Mumbai’s port in the last century and prior to that in search of a better life and to trade. From Mumbai they migrated to Pune and then to Hyderabad. Along with them came the concept of Irani chai.

Irani Tea Vs Other Teas: The difference in Irani chai and rest of the tea style made in India varies in the making process. The tea leaves are boiled in a separate container along with water and milk is also boiled in separate container. Then while serving to the customers they pour in first the milk then the liquid solution made out of tea leaves. This process is seen in many places which still retain that Iranian touch. The taste of Irani chai is the same whether you go in the morning, afternoon or late evening.

ス二ルの朝は、近くの小さいお店のイランチャイで、始まる。イランチャイのことは、ずっと聞かされていたので、私もハイドラバードに到着した日から一緒に行くようになった。このチャイは、本当にあまい～。でも、ついつい二杯目を飲みたくなる。（私は、飲まずに我慢できるけど、ス二ルはできない！）お値段は、１０ルピー！

朝食、軽食も食べられる。ここのマサラドサは、クリスピーで、なかなか。しかも、たったの２０ルピー。ロンドのにいるときに、マサラドサを食べるのにいくら払っていたか、、、考えられん～。

近場のカフェやレストランでも、イレニアンチャイを飲むけれど、今のところ、ここがス二ルのお気に入り。

上記、イランチャイについて、Timecity.comで、興味深い記事を載せていた。なるほど～。
