  • Now sprinkle Kattha on top of this, just sprinkle enough to cover the surface. You can dilute kattha with water and apply a layer of kattha on paan. I have used only a little of it, as it could make sweet paan little bitter.

Notes

  • You do not need to add all the suggested ingredients, you can customise as per your own taste.
  • Add only a little of Kattha and Chuna, or you may find paan does not taste as you wanted it.
  • Remember you have to add ingredients on back side of Paan leaf.
  • While wrapping paan, first bring back the left bottom half (where you had cut stem) and bring to centre, then do on right side, now bring down the tip of paan and you will see its all wrapped.
