March 25, 2016 by maria 9 Comments

Holi Special Paan Kulfi recipe!  a kulfi made from paan (betel leaves) and  milk. What is Paan? Paan is betel leaves readily available in India. There is a variety of Paan made in India like magai pan, meetha pan and off late you also get chocolate paan which is my favorite. Paan is stuffed with various things like coconut, gulkhand, katha etc…..

During occasion of Holi, I thought of making Paan kulfi… couldn’t think of anything better. Guess I am on my spree of some kulfi series. I have tried some other version of kulfi probably no one would have thought of…… 

Paan has some great benefits listed below:

  1. Betel leaves can be used to heal wounds. Grind leaves and extract juice and apply to the wound.
  2. Helps in eliminating bad breath is a good mouth freshener.
  3. Betel leaves help in treating ulcers, bronchitis and bleeding gums.
  4. Also helps in treating constipation, headaches etc.
  5. Also, betel leaves consist of calcium hence good for bones.
  6. The disadvantage is people mix betel nut with betel leaves and chew them which can be dangerous to health.

I don’t know what made me buy paan leaves yesterday. There area lot of sweets / mithai made from paan. I just thought unique and make paan kulfi instead. If you like eating mitha (sweet) pan then you would relish and enjoy this frozen treat. Paan Kulfi just melts in your mouth leaving your mouth with the burst of flavors, refreshment and cool effect. Paan Kulfi is a must try so try something unique this holi. Also, wish my readers a Happy and Safe Holi 🙂 🙂
