뜻
Tea with a bold flavor.
문화적 배경
Amruttulya shops are iconic in cities like Pune. They serve tea in small glass cups, brewed in large brass vessels. The tea is always 'Kadak' and has a specific ratio of milk, water, and sugar that never changes. In Mumbai, 'Cutting Chaha' is a way of life. It is half a cup of very strong tea. It allows people to have multiple tea breaks a day without consuming too much volume, but keeping the 'Kadak' intensity high. The arrival of the monsoon in Maharashtra is celebrated with 'Kanda Bhaji' and 'Kadak Chaha'. It is a sensory experience that defines the season for locals. In many Marathi households, offering 'Kadak Chaha' is a sign of respect. A 'watery' tea (पाणचट चहा) is considered a sign of poor hospitality or lack of interest in the guest.

Acidity Alert
Be careful, 'Kadak Chaha' on an empty stomach can cause acidity for some people!
