Paan Laddu Delight

Key Ingredients in Paan Laddu

The ingredients of Paan Laddu vary slightly from recipe to recipe, but certain components are almost always present:

Betel Leaves (Paan): The soul of the dessert, fresh betel leaves are either ground into a paste or finely chopped. They lend a distinctive flavor and color.

Gulkand: A sweet rose petal preserve that provides a floral undertone and moist texture.

Desiccated Coconut: Used for its gentle sweetness and texture, binding the laddus and enhancing flavor.

Fennel Seeds & Saunf: Classic paan ingredients, they bring in mild sweetness and crunch.

Chopped Nuts: almonds to add richness and bite.

Each ingredient is chosen not just for its flavor, but also for its ability to balance the freshness of paan with the luscious, sweet profile of laddu.
