SHEER CHAIWhat is the taste of a slow, slumberous afternoon in Srinagar? It’s that of a specially brewed sheer chai or noon chai (noon stands for salt in Kashmiri). This is a unique tea: it’s salty, it’s pink in colour and it is an acquired taste. What brings this all together is the rather unusual ingredient for a tea: soda bicarbonate or baking soda, which lends the tea both its pinkish hue and saltiness. Making this tea is a little bit of an art form and one that is considered a litmus test for any new Kashmiri Pandit bride. A post meal or early evening chai, give this one a go when we are feeling particularly experimental or if you’ve fallen for it!
