6 Febuary — 15 June 2025

Al Murooj Cafeteria, Sharjah, 2018

Overview

Looking at one of the most favoured to-go drinks in the UAE, this workshop will explore the historical significance and preparation methods of the famous chai karak. Coming from the Hindi word kadak, which means ‘strong’, karak is a brewed tea with milk, sugar and occasionally spices such as cardamom and saffron. Participants will have the opportunity to witness the step-by-step preparation method and learn from a professional chai wala, who has been delivering chai karak and paratha sandwiches to Sharjah Art Foundation employees and #SAFneighbourhood for years. Participants will then visit nearby cafeterias on a hunt for their favourite chai karak.
