THE BOMBAY IRANI CHAI

The Bombay Irani Chai in Ramganj Bazar sits within a neighborhood shaped by the movement of people and their trades. While the name points to a specific style of tea, the drink itself relies on a precise preparation: a strong tea decoction kept in a separate vessel and combined with thick, sweetened milk just before serving. This method, which traveled from Persian immigrants to cafes across Indian cities, creates a tea with a signature creamy texture and deep color.
