Paan soda recipe, Paan drink

Paan soda with betel leaves, Gulkand, saunf, paan masala and plain soda as main ingredients.

I hope many of you, after Janmashtami snacks and sweets need this to help you a bit in digestion.

When I went to Salem this year, one day after shopping, we went to the food court in the shopping mall and thought of having something.

To my surprise, I found my filter coffee picture and sambar idli picture being used there.

My dad asked the guy in the shop, he told the graphics was done by someone else.

When I told it’s from my website, he asked for the website address and told, later, if needed I can use everything if it’s available in my site. For free. They don’t understand perhaps!

But coming to today’s post, I found this paan soda in their menu and ordered. It was really flavorful and  delicious.

Everything was well balanced. I just loved it but could not guess the ingredients.

There was a pleasant smell in the drink, which I could not recreate. I adapted this recipe from Tarla Dalal’s paan shot recipe and made it as soda.

It was really good and flavourful, was not the same as I had there but. If I get a chance to taste again, let me see if I could crack it and if I do, I will update.

I have used the dark green betel leaves (Karuppu vetrilai) here.

Serve immediately. You can fill the serving glass with ice cubes before pouring in the drink.
