Having doodh patti right now...

I'm one of those lazy guys who would heat up the cup in the microwave, throw in a teabag and a sweetener and voila, instant chai!

But no more.. this morning I decided enough is enough, I cannot settle for a measly teabag style chai on my day off from work. So I got me a Lipton loose tea 'Aala Quality' and right now its on the stove cooking away merrily. Nothing like waking up in the morning and having breakfast with a strong doodh patti.

Tea lovers, please post your thoughts on this incredible invention of loose tea and doodh patti.

doodh patti is typical lahori thing. Its like chai milkshake!! i dont like it but ok once in a while. persoanlly i like strong truck driver chai.

Doot Phati is the real tea. I have it to every morning.

Just goota watch the part before milk spills out of the dekchi - 'Ubala' but the taste of dood pati keeps you going and going

Tastes amazing with a Paratha...

Ill stick with my Weetabix in the mornings thank you!

This is a very important advice, I have had many incidents where the tea get's too much ubala and spills all over the stove. My solution to this is to keep it on fairly low heat and check often. Unfortunately there's always a long wait involved.

Worst part about cooking doodh patti is the cleaning part afterward. Takes almost 10 minutes to clean up the damn utensil.

put in an illaichi (long or clove) for the Sunday 11 am tea

i make chai every night...i am hooked

Doodh Patti is quality BUT you struggle to move after drinking it

okay what is doodh patti?...i usually put a teabag in a cup of water microwave it and put some milk in it...is that doodh patti?...

i have also put a teabag in a cup of milk and microwaved it...or is that doodh patti?...

second one but it has to be on stove. you get a little cooked/burnt flavor too that you won't get from radiation. It is not as simple as heating it up. it involves cooking it a bit. I am guessing you can add some water to it but then use low fat milk instead. I don't know the strict dooth patti council ruling on it

There is no water in Doodh Patti

i see i see...i mostly have microwable chai...haven't had doodh patti in years...

that must qualify?

just put the tea bags in the milk and put it on stove. You don't really need Gold Label or Brook Bond and some people may frown on using tea bags but tea bags have tea in the little ting they call the bag

yeah, i could take the stove option but i don't like the taste of burnt milk...i'd rather microwave that shiz...

according to the purists it has to be purely milk and tea. But there always those who mix water (half and half). I prefer the latter because milk is expensive and I hate running to the grocery stores every other day. As long as you can get that familiar color, texture and thickness in the tea you're all set in my opinion.

This advice never works becasue the more careful you are, there is always that split second when your attention is diverted and that's when the chai spills over

I don't think its lahore thing. Al my family has it every morning except me, love my cofee too much, beside i'm elergic to tea. I throw everything out soon as loose tea hits my lip or even bit of it.

Dood pati is all over Pakistan... from top to bottom... goota drink chai !

just wait for it in Starbucks. they already have Chai Tea . they need to go the extra step

I had high hopes from Chai tea but it disappointed me. Nothing more than steamed milk added to a teabag style tea + cinammon and other unneeded crap.

And it costs like almost $4

in malaysia i used to have teh tarik... man that is one kick a$$ tea. u gotta drink that when ever u go to malaysia.
