Badam Shake Or Chai? Amritsar Vendors Unusually Pricey Tea Goes Viral

A video of an unusual ‘chai’ made at an Amritsar stall has gone viral on Instagram. In the reel shared by @thegreatindianfoodie, we see the vendor adding milk to a large vessel. He crushes some green elaichi (cardamom) on the floor beside his seat and adds it to the milk. He also sprinkles some flower petals on it. He cooks these ingredients together and also preps a handful of almonds by crushing them with a mortar and pestle. In another vessel, he heats butter and mixes it with the almonds. Next, he strains the milk from earlier into this vessel and combines all the elements thoroughly. Finally, he pours it into a glass to serve.
