Paan Laddu Delight

At its heart, Paan Laddu is a dessert that combines the flavors of paan—a traditional Indian mouth freshener and digestive— with the texture and sweetness of a laddu, one of the country’s most cherished sweets. The word "paan" refers to betel leaves, which are typically wrapped around a mixture of areca nut, slaked lime, and often sweetened ingredients such as gulkand (rose petal preserve), coconut, fennel seeds, almonds, and other ingredients. Paan Laddu thus fuses the aromatic, refreshing notes of paan with the rich, melt-in-the- mouth sweetness and grainy texture of laddus, creating a layered taste experience that is both unique and memorable.
