Place two store-bought sweet paan and two scoops of vanilla ice cream in a blender, then blend them.
In a bowl, create a layer of store-bought vanilla ice cream, and on top of that, add dollops of the sweet paan paste. Use a toothpick to create swirls.
Sprinkle flavoured fennel seeds and paan-flavored mukhwas (mouth freshener) over the layer.
This recipe is perfect for a summertime dinner party. Star anise and fennel seeds are widely available, while chaat masala can be bought from Indian grocery stores and online. This dessert requires overnight freezing so make sure you start it in plenty of time.
