Pan Shots


If necessity is the mother of invention, then I would say craving is grandmother ;)

Yeah, coz making this drink was not at all a necessity, but ohh boy, what should I do about that craving of having PAN...... In my home town we have very famous pan center called 'Tara Pan Center' & I am in love with their pans. Always use to miss it after special meals and festive days. Tried making it with the pans we get here, but did not get that taste coz pan quality is just not the one we get back in India. Not soft enough to chew. So what next, what if we can still enjoy that aroma of Pan & not have to chew it .....sounds fantastic....bas bana dala ....introducing "Pan Shot"

This is sure to satisfy your craving to have pan plus leave your guest amazed. 

A must try ....after dinner drink (can be served with vodka too)

Ingredients

4-5 pan
1 tbsp minty fennel seeds
1 tbsp shredded dry coconut 
1 tbsp gulkand
1/4 tsp cardamom powder

2 scoop of vanilla ice-cream
