Servings
For the Recipe
- Paan leaves - 5 to 6
- Dates - 5-6
- Almonds - 8-9
- Fennel seeds - 1 teaspoon
- Tutti Frutti - 1 tea spoon
- Desiccated coconut - 1 teaspoon or add more to adjust the consistency
- Mukhwas - 1 teaspoon
- Gulkand (add more to adjust the consistency) - 2 tsp
- Cadbury Bournville Chocolate - 1-2 bars (or as required)
Directions

Take fresh paan leaves, wash them thoroughly under running water, and gently pat them dry using a kitchen towel or tissue paper to remove any moisture.

Finely chop the dried paan leaves into small pieces so they blend well with the filling.

In a blender or food processor, grind seedless dates and almonds together into a coarse, sticky paste. This will act as the base and natural sweetener.

Add the date-almond paste to the chopped paan leaves and mix well to combine the flavors.

Add these ingredients to the mixture - Fennel seeds, Tutti Frutti, Dry desiccated coconut and Mukhwas.

Add Gulkand, which will add richness and floral sweetness.

Combine everything well using clean hands or a spoon until you get a uniform, sticky mixture.

Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth, bite-sized balls. Set them aside on a plate.

Break the Cadbury Bournville dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it using a double boiler or microwave (stir every 15–20 seconds to avoid burning).

Using a fork or toothpick, dip each paan ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate, ensuring they don't touch each other. Refrigerate or keep in a cool place until the chocolate hardens and sets completely. Once set, serve chilled or at room temperature as a unique after-meal treat or festive dessert.
Store in an airtight container inside the refrigerator up to 2-3 days.
