Fire Paan

Fire Paans are a craze that’s popular with street food stalls in Rajkot, India in which people are fed a leaf that’s on fire, directly into their mouth. It's certainly a unique digestive-aid to end your meal on a refreshing note. Eating Paan or betel leaves topped with spices, dried fruits like cherries, sugar and nuts, after meals a common practice in India. It tastes great, is a mouth freshner (kind of like a mini flamethrower in your mouth) and is an excellent digestive aid.
In recent years, different flavours and types of eating Paan such as Chocolate Paan, Rasmalai Paan, Ice Paan, Fire Paan etc. have emerged and gained popularity.
Here, the chef makes the popular Fire Paan with betel leaves, sweetened fennel seeds, coconut shavings, tutti frutti and gulkand and using a flambe torch he ‘fires’ the paan. He also makes Paan Shot from this Paan.
