Paan Ladoo (with Gulkand Filling)

Posted by Divya on October 28, 2019 Filed Under: Desserts, Indian Sweets Tagged With: Gluten Free

Paan Coconut Ladoo is a delicious, quick & easy Indian sweet recipe made with paan (betel leaves), gulkand (rose jam) & coconut. In order to replicate the real paan flavours, fresh paan leaves have been used & centre of the ladoos is filled with gulkand just like the way you get in actual paan.

These Paan Ladoos  are absolute delightful amalgamation of Coconut with Paan. It is a completely gluten free ladoo recipe and no artificial colors or essence has been used in it.

Diwali is the time of year when there is festivities all around, everyone is in the mood to celebrate and sweets are the indispensable of this celebration. Though many of the Indian sweets recipe require real kitchen skills and expertise, this paan ladoo recipe is so easy to make that even a novice can make them. You can also involve your kids too in rolling and coating part of ladoos which I am sure they will enjoy.

For all those who are unfamiliar with hindi terminology, paan is called “Betel” in English and gulkand is rose preserve. In India “Paan” is basically Gulkand, supari (Areca nut), Kattha (Catechu) etc wrapped in a paan(betel) leaf and generally devoured after finishing meals.

Earlier I had shared recipe for Instant Coconut Ladoos in which just two ingredients were used. This was a very simple, quick recipe and liked by many readers of the blog. You can check out that recipe by clicking here. The Paan coconut ladoos are inspired from this recipe only with some addition of flavours.

I made these Paan ladoos this Diwali and they were very much appreciated by friends and family. I kept them as “Prasad” in our “Pooja Thali” and spontaneously my husband pointed out how these ladoos have all the auspicious ingredients “Paan, Pushp and Mewa” which are generally kept in Hindu Poojas.

After many repeated request for food videos, I have finally tried to come up with the YouTube video of the recipe which you can find at the end of this post. The video has been kept short and precise and will clear off any doubts about the process. Please like and subscribe to KuchPakRahaHai channel as it will really encourage us to come up with more of such videos. Any feedback will be appreciated 🙂 .

I got the Paan leaves and Gulkand from our local paan shop. You can also find Gulkand jars online on Amazon. Other two ingredients used in recipe are desiccated coconut powder and condensed milk. I topped these ladoos with some silver coated elaichi (cardamom) and supari (Betel nut) from Dizzle brand.

Hope you would like this Paan Coconut Ladoos recipe.

      Hi Anahita, the recipe proportions are set for desiccated coconut as fresh coconut has more moisture in it.
