Paan Laddu is a delectable sweet made with betel leaves along with a few other ingredients.
Paan Laddu is made of all things good along with betel leaves. The festive season is here and it is customary to keep betel leaves and arecanut slices along with fruits as an offering to the Lord. The betel leaves may be later used to make this sweet dish. I have earlier shared a banana betel milkshake using betel leaves.
Betel leaves aids in digestion and is usually chewed after meals with a filling of arecanuts and slaked lime. It is called as paan. The paan is made of varied kind with a filling of any of these substances; saunf, cherries, dates, menthol, sugar, saffron, cardamom etc
