Tea kadais or roadside tea/coffee shops are a common site in every indian city. The tea and coffee they serve in these shops do have a separate kick to them that we do not get when we make at home. At the same time a bite of the spicy masala vadai and then a sip from the steaming hot tea glass will make every evening a memorable one. I remember my days in post graduation when a tea shop opposite to our college was our meeting place where we used to sit before and after classes (did i miss saying also during classes?).
