Agree or not, chai is basically a desi paracetamol for us. Even the March heat outside cannot really stop us from enjoying a cup of chai daily in the morning and in the evening. But it seems like some people can really do anything for their chai. A video posted by @dillu.sheikh.37 on Instagram is now going viral.

According to the video, his kitchen had run out of cooking gas amid the LPG shortage, and he had to resort to a steam iron to prepare chai. He simply switches on the iron and places a bowl filled with water on its flat surface. Then @dillu.sheikh.37 adds sugar, tea leaves and milk, just like we normally would while making tea. He then lets it boil for some time, stirs it once, and pours the chai into a cup using a sieve. After that, he takes a sip from it.

Restaurants are using their own jugaads to tackle the LPG issue, and here chai lovers have come up with their own ideas. It is surprising, right? How far can people really go for a cup of tea? Even the netizens were amused by this hack.

One user wrote, “Jugaad pro max.” Another commented, “Chai pine walon ko koi nahi rok sakta.” Some users even thanked @ for this new idea. One user even wrote, “Yeh technology India ke bahar nahi jaani chahiye,” and honestly, this comment made us laugh out loud.

However, some people also advised against trying out this method, as it may not really be safe. And yes, we agree with this comment. Making chai on a steam iron might sound amusing, but it is not recommended.
