My first time experiencing paan but in the form of ice cream. I tasted subtle notes of anise and fennel, the latter of which was confirmed by our waiter who added that rose also flavored this ice cream. So I’m not sure how much paan I was able to actually taste? At any rate, he also informed me that the resinous bits sprinkled atop the scoop were bits of musk melon (which in India comes in as many as 3 colors) dehydrated and soaked in syrup. Interestingly, this preparation is commonly known as tutti frutti.
