Bhama Shah ka Paan

Paan (Betel) is an ethnic and traditional Indian chew usually consumed after heavy meals. However, people who acquire its taste- may consume it at any time and as many times. It is a multiple-flavoured mouth freshener and is prepared by combining betel leaf with areca nut. Adding tobacco is optional. Slaked lime (chuna) paste is commonly added to bind the leaves. It is chewed for its stimulant and psychoactive effects. It has now become customary to serve Paan on many occasions including grand lunch/ dinners, weddings parties, and traditional gatherings.
