Directions
traditionally, chai was served in 2 steel cups which has been replaced by glass cups. these steel cups were placed one over the other and the chai was split in these 2 cups and were enjoyed by 2 people. perhaps, this act of sharing the chai gave its name as cutting chai. moreover, local street vendors of mumbais saw this as opportunity and started to serve half cup of chai in a reduced price. in addition, there is another theory which says cutting chai got its name because of the strong flavour it has to offer in a small quantity. how many of you have an addiction to masala chai or indian masala tea? i think there would be at least one single person in each indian family who has a addiction to masala tea or even just chai without any spices. i am not a big fan of tea, however i like to have masala milk and kashaya.
