Many regions have special devices or at least custom namings to brew tea and similar beverages:

  • Teapot in Western countries
  • Caydalnik in Turkey
  • Samovar in Russia
  • Samavar in Kashmir

Is there any special appliance, either a corresponding naming of such for brewing masala chai?

In my house, we have a rectangular-cylindrical metal pot that is used to make only chai. It does not have a specific name, although the class of utensils that it comes from are called patila (Hindi), patela (Marathi) (attaching a picture) patila or patela. In my experience, most Indian households do have a seperate patila/patela for making chai. Hope this helps!

    Yes, I was trying to, but I just couldn't. I'll figure out a way to attach pictures soon. The image link is in the answer; it seems to be a formatting problem. – P. J. Feb 13 '20 at 10:50
  • I've tried to access the link directly but get "access denied". You can also drag and drop the image, or upload it to Imgur and take the URL from there. – J. Doe Feb 13 '20 at 12:51
