Home Made Chai Tea
Hola Chicos,
I adore Indian cuisine, the spicier the better. I can remember my early childhood, my dad would eat small red and green Thai chilies with vinegar I wanted to impress my dad so I ate some too. Ever since then my palate can beat out even the hottest dishes.
This is one of the reasons I love South Asian cuisine. Srilanka dishes are awesome! Just as well as their sister country India. Thailand is a combination of Indian, Chinese, and Muslim, some of their dishes are just to die for.
A Simple home made chai tea takes me back to Thailand, my friends Authentic Indian restaurant, and a party my Srilankan friend invited my other half and I to.
