Meetha Paan is the royal treat at end of the
meal at most ceremonies in Indian. Paan or Betel leaf is the perennial
evergreen herb with beautiful heart shaped leaf. Meetha Paan can be prepared in
various ways, loaded with fragrant and flavorful herbs and spices. The common
ingredient used in the Paan is the Gulkand, a jam made with petals of wild
roses. Paan is actually good for digestion besides being used as mouth
freshener.

roll the edge to form a proper cone to keep all the ingredients.
