“I strongly condemn this new way of making chai. Should we file a petition in SC to stop this nonsense?” reads the caption to the video shared on X. The video opens to show a woman roasting tea and sugar in a pan. As the video goes on, she adds cardamom, ginger and some water to the pan. After giving it a good mix, she adds milk to the mixture. She strains the tea into glasses once the mixture is brought to a boil.

“That is not tea. That is some horrid Chai Tea Tikka Masala Gravy concoction,” posted an individual.

Another added, “Chai-subzi.”

“Why would someone play around with a simple process of making tea is beyond me,” shared a third.

A fourth added, “Amul butter ka tadka kaha hai [Where is the Amul butter sizzle]?”

“I tried after watching this video; the patti [tea] gives a bhuna hua flavour, works once but not every time,” shared a fifth.

A sixth commented, “The end product looks pretty good.”

“I definitely would try once!” expressed a seventh.
