Chai and toast have long been a staple pairing in many Indian households. Typically, buttered toast is lightly dipped in tea, creating the perfect balance of crisp and softness in every bite. However, the version going viral is a completely different take. Rather than simply dipping the toast, this snack involves pouring hot chai directly over a malai-filled bread sandwich.
The trending dish consists of three primary ingredients: kadak chai (strong milk tea), malai (fresh cream), and sliced bread. In the viral recipe, fresh cream is sandwiched between two slices of bread. Then, hot tea is poured over the sandwich until it's completely soaked, making the bread soft enough to be scooped up with a spoon. The result is a warm, rich, and nostalgic snack that's gaining traction everywhere.
