To make this sweet I have used homemade khoya/mawa or dried/evaporated milk. If you are using store bought khoya, grate or crumble before using. You can get the method of making mawa here.

As I mentioned above that recipe is very simple and easy. We have to blend everything till smooth. Cook on low heat till mixture comes together and becomes like a dough. Used Cardamom powder rose essence to get mitha paan flavour. Ground almond will give a nutty flavour and taste. Used green food food colour to get the lovely green color just like paan or betel leaf. But you can skip if if you want.

Method

1. Wash the paan or betel leaves well. Remove the stalk. Make small pieces. Watch video recipe below the recipe card. I have used small sized paan leaves, if you are using large sized leaves 3-4 leaves.

2. In a blender jar add fennel seeds or sounf, small pieces of paan leaves, khoya/mawa or dried/evaporated milk, coconut, sugar, gulkand and milk.

3. Blend to make a smooth paste. At first I used 1/2 cup grated coconut. But after tasting used half cup more for better taste. Transfer the mixture in a heavy bottom or nonstick pan. Cook on low heat. Keep stirring and scrap the sides.

4. Meanwhile grind almond to make coarse powder. Add ground almond in the pan. Also add 2-3 drop green food colour if using. This step is optional but green food color will give a lovely green color just like paan or betel leaf. Mix well.

5. When the mixture about to dried up add cardamom powder and rose essence or rose water. Mix and cook till mixture comes together and becomes like a dough. Remove from heat.

6. Let it cool down. Mash again to make smooth. To make laddu Spread desiccated coconut on a plate. Make small balls. Make small or large size balls according to your choice. Roll the balls on desiccated coconut and arrange on a plate. Your paan laddu is ready to serve.

7. To make peda Grease a mould with ghee or clarified butter. Take a small portion and press gently on the mould. Make all the peda like this. Watch video recipe for details. If you don’t have mould just make balls and press lightly with your palm. Place little shredded almond or pistachio over it and enjoy.

Notes

1. If you don’t want to use almond reduce the amount of sugar make it without almond. But almond will give a nutty flavour and enhance the taste.

2. Green food colour is optional. Used to give a wonderful paan or betel leaf like colour, you can skip if you want.

3. Add sugar according to your taste. Gulkand is very sweet so if you like less sweet then add little less sugar. Taste and adjust while cooking.

4. Always use sweet variety of paan or betel leaf like maghai paan or Calcutta paan type paan leaves.

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
