Leaving Kiari

Went for a walk back up to town. Mainly to try to find my sentimental scarf from the wedding, I could kick myself, and secondly to have a look around. I'm sure the scarf got picked up quickly. The visage seems to me to be a typical old style place built around a path, then a set of paths, clustered together. It's even got a Piazza with seats for the oldies to sit and gossip. 
To make milk chai, you need dahl chinni (dalchini (दालचीनी), the English translation is cinnamon) break it into pieces by hand, a clove ground in mortar and pestle. Boil these in a pot, and a spoon of tea,  a tiny bit of brown sugar. Add milk, bring to boil,  strain to serve.
