Sweet beeda recipe | meetha paan recipe – When I posted the Paan juice recipe, I said I would post the sweet beeda recipe too. I got the gulkand and cherries from India during my quick trip in the first week of February. Before this Chinese New Year long weekend, I went to the Indian shop to buy veggies. Saw betel leaves over there and thought this would be the right time to buy this and make a post for meetha pan. My hubby and I do not eat paan or any supari, either. In our friend group, everyone loves paan. So we had a get-together during the long weekend holidays, and I clicked this before going to the party and took it for them. Gulkand played a wonderful role in the taste of paan (as my friends said). This video helped me shape the paan. Stay tuned for recipes using gulkand coming up in Jeyashri’s kitchen.
1. You can add dry candied ginger inside, too.2. Desiccated coconut can also be added.3. So many mixed paan options are available in the market; you can stuff them inside.4. Always ensure you don't overstuff the paan, or it will be difficult to close it.5. Instead of making a cone, you can just fold it and serve it too.

:
Always fresh betel leaves for making beeda. Â Till you start making the beeda, keep this inside a bowl of water.
Take one from the water and pat it dry. On the back of the leaf, slightly spread the Sunnambu. This gives your tongue color after you chew paan.
Do not add too much; just a little will do.
Cut the stems of the betel leaves as shown in the picture.
Start folding it from one end to make a cone. My hubby helped me with this picture.
Once the cone is ready, start filling it with the ingredients. Keep in mind not to overstuff the cone, or else you will not be able to close it.
First, start with supari | paaku. And then with other ingredients, and lastly with gulkand.
Close the cone and keep a cherry in the middle, and insert a toothpick in the middle.
Repeat this for the remaining betel leaves.
