Travel Chai Chronicles: Bhuj, Gujarat

Sitting on a long rickety worn out wooden bench in the street corner sipping masala chai prepared by Jeetu Bhai.

Jeetu Bhai has been preparing tea in his push cart for over a decade, he adds crushed ginger, elaichi and freshly plucked tulsi from bush near by.

He offers biscuits to stray dogs and when they seem to refuse he generously serves them sweet boondis prepared in desi ghee from the mithai shop next door.
