    Meeta pan kalakand

    Meetha paan is a popular South Asian digestive treat made with betel leaves and various sweet ingredients, including fennel seeds, and sweetened syrups. It's known for its unique blend of flavors and is often consumed as an accompaniment to meals. Flavorful kalakand with paan taste is so addictive. Perfect for Diwali and party sweets.

    Betel leaves for milk burfi

    I only get dark green betel leaves here in the USA. Hence, I always use them. Adjust condensed milk and paan according to your taste.

    Condensed milk - tips

    Always use room-temperature condensed milk as it helps with easy binding. If you are using condensed milk stored in the fridge, keep it at room temperature, then use it.

    ricotta cheese

    use whole-fat ricotta cheese. You can whisk well or pulse once

    topping suggestions

    Any meeta paan stuffing works best. I have used tutti frutti and gulkand. You can use nuts, dates, or any other flavor of your choice.

    Is it a firm paan kalakand

    No, it is soft and melt-in-mouth North Indian-style kalakand. If you prefer firm burfi  use almond powder or coconut powder

    How long should I cook

    Over-cooked kalakand will turn chewy, for perfect soft betal leaves burfi avoid overcooking. Cook till it turns non-sticky.

    Can I cut immediately?

    No, always refrigerate for 3 hours till it turns firm, then cut.
