    Yes, what a pity :( I did not know about this dish too until I went to India in 2008 and there is no turning back since then hahaha It has stayed as one of my favourite Indian dishes.

    Not to worry, as there will always be the next time!

    Its teh halia, its quite common here in SG and truly asia.
    Masala tea is less common, hardly selling in SG, I only came across one stall in Chong Pang.
    However I managed to buy a box of masala tea bags from mustaffa. 555+

    Ok, thanks for correcting... So it's teh halia!

    Try the masala tea at Tekka Hawker Centre, I tried the one at the stall adjacent to the Chinese vegetarian stall selling roti prata (there's only one Chinese veg stall selling roti prata), it's really good!

    Haha and I always presume its call teh aria.

    I rather prefer masala tea rather than teh halia as since young as I don't like the taste of ginger milk tea. Last time I always had fever here and then and my father asked me to drink ginger tea. I think its a way for cooling off the heat but I never liked the taste..
