In a video shared on Instagram, Diljit Dosanjh offered fans a glimpse into his shardai-making procedure. ICYDK, shardai is incomplete without nuts (almonds, pistachios), sunflower, pumpkin, poppy, fennel, cardamom and melon seeds. Black pepper and tiny ice chunks can also be used. Diljit was seen grinding all the ingredients into a powdered paste inside a mud vessel, resembling a mortar. With a huge pestle, the Lover singer crushed the items uniformly and blended them well in a circular motion. Once it was done, he took a large brass bowl and gurgled down the cold and freshening shardai all at one go. Rubbing off the liquid from his mouth in style, he seemed ready to entertain the Orlando crowd.
