A hot cup of tea, a crunchy snack on the side and something sweet to top it off - gourmet bliss! A rainy afternoon, a misty morning, a sunny day at the poolside, a copy evening with friends, a chilly winter’s night, late afternoon with hungry kids just home from school – any time is chai-nashta time! There are few more soul-satisfying meals than a soothing beverage accompanied by a savory or sweet treat. Think hot kanda bhajias, crispy wontons and a substantial triple-decker sandwich; or a slice of moist, zesty lemon cake, a crunchy peanut cookie or a delightful dollop of saeb ka halwa. And if the amber liquid, is literally not your cup of tea, quench your thirst with a piping hot bad am doodh, a silky mango smoothie or a mint-flavoured iced-spiced tea. So take that well-deserved chai-nashta break, and treat yourself to kuchh garam-kuchh thanda, kuchh namkeen, kuchh meetha!.
