Dates paan recipe – Must try paan recipe for this festival season. No cook dates paan recipe using betal leaves | Vethalai, gulkand, and other easily available ingredients.
Usually, I make one paan dish for all my guests when I host any big gatherings at home. This year, when we had Maha Periyava Paduka Pooja at home, I made this Dates paan for my guests. It was a huge hit among all. Our friend who runs a restaurant here got so impressed, asked me to make dates paan for a big event hosted at their restaurant. Yet another huge hit.
I also made this for Varalakshmi Pooja and everyone loved it. As Navaratri is approaching, I thought of sharing this recipe with you all. So that you can make this for the guests. All you need is good-quality dates, tutti frutti, gulkand, and store-bought Mukhwas. You can make this in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
