Dum tea/ Dum Ki Chai in Instant Pot
I love Tea and this recipe is super easy and delicious!
A Dum Tea has its origin from Hyderabad and is prepared in the same concept of Dum Biryani. It is boiled in a Handi for long time, letting all the flavors infuse in the tea. Some people add fresh cream or Khoya, to make the tea richer and milkier.
Today I prepared this tea in my Instant Pot and it turned out great!
Lets get right to it!
Notes:
- This measurements are perfect for 2 (mugs) servings of tea.
- If you want creamy rich milk, use evaporated milk. Some people add some khoya in addition to milk.
- Try and avoid too much fresh ginger. Too much tends to curdle the milk
- For a little more of a kick to the tea, I added additional ¼ tsp of my mother’s Sukku Malli coffee powder. Play with the flavors how you please!
- You can make in bulk for parties and pour in thermal flask for serving
