Kulhad Chai and Makhan Malai Toast at a Roadside Stall

Forget fancy cafes — Varanasi's roadside kulhad chai is an experience. The clay cup adds a smoky, earthy flavour no paper cup can match. Pair it with makhan malai toast — thick sliced bread fried in butter and topped with cream. Best stalls are near Chowk and around Kachori Gali. A full snack costs under ₹40.
