Many regions have special devices or at least custom namings to brew tea and similar beverages:
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)
. In my experience, most Indian households do have a seperate patila/patela for making chai. Hope this helps!
