Dr Sanjay Gupta, the American neurosurgeon, is a popular face on television as CNN’s chief medical correspondent. However, recently, the medical expert decided to make chai and it has left many freaking out online.
Dr Gupta, who keeps appearing on many segments of the American news channel, recently tried to teach his daughter how to make the desi beverage. In a video shared by the news outlet, the neurosurgeon said he learned the recipe from his mother and is passing it down to his children.
While it started off okay with the girls boiling water with crushed cardamom and ginger, netizens lost it when tea bags were thrown into the pot. While he does explain that loose tea leaves are usually added but that they could be tricky. Hence he justifies using the bags to teach his daughters.
Later, he asks them to add a cup of milk to the pot. After allowing it to simmer for a while, the family was seen enjoying chai in the same cups, handed to him by his mother.
While people loved the thought and the nostalgia attached to his story, many thought he ruined chai and questioned “why is he destroying his mother’s reputation”. Most chai lovers dubbed it coloured milk, while others poked fun at him for westernisation of the desi staple.
