Most people of South Asian descent are aware of what Paan is. For those who aren’t so sure,
Paan is made of various spices and ingredients that are mixed together and wrapped up in a betel leaf. Tobacco can be added for those who want. There are different types of Paan, each with its own combination of ingredients and unique flavour.
Chewing Paan is an Indian tradition, but has spread to countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Bollywood mega-star, Amitabh Bachan, sang and danced to a song about Paan in the 1978 movie, Don. Decades later, Shahrukh Khan did the same in the movie’s remake.
More recently however, signs of Paan chewing have also been found in Gulf countries like Qatar and the UAE.
