For French chef Gregory Bazire, sampling the spice-laden milky masala chai has been a life-changing experience
A humble cup of masala chai changed Gregory Bazire’s life. It was 1998 and his wife was just back from a trip to India. Along with memories and pictures, she had brought some spices. “One day she made some masala chai…something she had tasted in India. It had ginger, cardamom, cloves, pepper, and for me, it was love at first sip! This was strange as I was not really into teas. In fact, I was an out-and-out coffee person. The year was 1998,” says the French chef, as we settle down for a chai pe charcha at the Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea House over some rum and raisin Darjeeling tea. “This one is especially dedicated to India’s love for Old Monk!” he quips.
