Paan ki dukaan (Beetel leaf Shop)

By Mom_me

Yup !! Now that I have been sick lately (flu), I am missing my home all the more and the only thing which would really cheer me up is a desi 'PAAN'. All you Indians know what I mean. A real sweet 'gulukand' paan right from the near by paan shop with the blaring music and all majnoos gawking on the females passing by (not a pretty sight though). Well a simple humble culcutti will do. LOL. Oh ! and my native language ofcourse.

Alexa, dont be sorry, your welcome, and yes it is the same stuff that makes your mouth red!

Its beetel leaf with gulkand which is dried rose petals sweetened with sugar, and other stuff, some people eat it with tobacco as well.

gives a kick of sort( the tobacco variety) the sweet paan is like dessert after dinner.
