PAAN PETHA: A DELICIOUS INDIAN SWEET YOU SHOULD TRY

Step into the enchanting world of Paan Petha, where the old-world charm and the scrumptious magic of Petha come together to create a truly irresistible delicacy. Imagine a sweet treat that combines the goodness of Petha with the tantalizing flavors of paan, creating a culinary masterpiece that has captured the hearts of food lovers for generations. The creativity and culinary skill that goes into making Paan Petha make it the king of all mithais, a sweet that stands out from the rest.

First let's see what makes Paan Petha so unique:

What sets Paan Petha apart is its unique composition, which mimics the ingredients of a paan - a traditional Indian mouth freshener. The outer coating of Petha envelopes a tantalizing fusion of pan chutney powder, dry fruits such as cashews for that delightful crunchiness, and gulkand, which adds a touch of freshness. The end result is a sweet that bears a striking resemblance to an actual paan, both in appearance and taste.

Indulging in Paan Petha is truly a sensory experience:

With each bite of Paan Petha, your taste buds are treated to a burst of flavors. The sweetness of the Petha, the earthy notes of pan chutney, the nuttiness of cashews, and the refreshing essence of gulkand all harmoniously come together to create a symphony of taste that leaves you craving for more.

One of the best things about Paan Petha is its versatility:

Whether you're seeking a refreshing treat on a hot summer day or a delightful conclusion to a satisfying meal, Paan Petha fits the bill. Its succulent texture and tantalizing flavors make it a favorite among people of all ages, satisfying the cravings of both the young and the young at heart.

History of Petha:

To truly grasp the significance of Paan Petha, we must delve into the captivating history of its predecessor, the conventional Petha. According to legend, this luscious dessert was born within the opulent royal Mughal kitchens, under the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan. Inspired by the pristine beauty of the Taj Mahal, the chefs embarked on a quest to create a sweet delicacy as pure and immaculate as the iconic monument itself. Through their artistry, they artfully blended ash gourd, sugar, and water to bring forth the exquisite Petha.

As time went by, this crystallized pumpkin candy gained unwavering popularity, becoming an integral part of Agra's culinary heritage. Today, no trip to Agra is complete without indulging in the delightful flavors of Petha. And within this realm of delectable sweets, Paan Petha has risen to be the epitome of culinary creativity and craftsmanship.

Whether you are a connoisseur of sweets or an adventurous foodie, Paan Petha is a must-try delicacy that promises to transport your taste buds to new realms of flavor.

As I am insatiably disappointed over the fact that the Kel Dor in the Acolyte is not Plo Koon, I'm still quite thrilled that Kel Dors have once more made it to the screen via the lovely Ithia Paan.

That said, join me in my never ending thirst for Plo Koon and Plo welcoming Ithia to the family ♥.

~ The one deceived

»»————> ◐◐◐◐◐◐◐◐◐◐◐◐◐◐◐<————««

O lovers, enchanters of your sweet maidens, must you keep in mind to never displease the queen of your hearts.

'She who adorns herself in fine silks and jewels, awaits you at night hiding from the entire town in the heart of the forest where fierce beasts lay, she must never be kept await for long and certainly must not be left alone if ever your eyes droop for a night. Who knows someone else might snatch the beauty away?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫

With dark eyes not blue lotus

she fashions a welcome garland.

Petals she strews—

not various species of jasmine

but smiles.

Water she offers from ripe

moistened breasts

rather than ceremonial jars.

With only her own body

she makes for her

lover an

auspicious welcome.

~ Erotic Love Poems from India

A tightly knotted braid pinned by jewelled pins moves like a serpent by her waist. She carefully arranges flowers in her hair, just the way he likes. She spent months apart from him, and now is the time to bring long lost romance back into their lives -- of sweet nothings, stolen kisses, teasing words and the bliss of just being around your lover.

The morning was spent in perfuming the hair and the body. His favourite scent: the rain perfused soil. It always enchanted him when she passed by the busy market place in front of him. She usually preferred a light scent of roses, but today she has to make him heady as soon as he catches a whiff of air around him.

A necklace decked with moonstones sits on her making her look dazzling. Her wrists are adorned with glass bangles, and a shy smile teases her lips when her friends tease her on the various ways glass bangles can be broken tonight.

"Quiet. You must not speak like this. He's a gentle lover," she admonishes them with a stern look that soon melts into a beautiful blush and her friends once again start teasing her.

"You look perfect now. If you decorate yourself anymore, your dazzling form shall blind him as soon as he enters the house," says a friend, dabbing a kohl dot behind the jewelled maiden's ear to ward off the evil eye.

The letter in betel leaves 🥀

Handmaiden bears a large plate on her tender hands.

Soft silks from lands far and wide,

jewels crafted in nothing but perfection,

perfume extracted from only exotic flowers and oils,

But what pleases the bejewelled beauty?

A silver box revealing a richly stuffed Kaushal paan.

'In separation I have burned for several moons, and my heart wailed in agony. Where do I carry this ocean of love when you are the shore that binds me to you? Oh, my dearest, my lovely moon, it is you I desire. Come meet my by the riverside near the sweet-smelling jasmine bower.'

'We sipped on moon-gleam at midnight.

And the moon rose in our eyes, at midnight.'

-- Delicate as the moonstone, bangle laden wrists

alert the love god who stands ever ready with love arrows.

She traverses down the narrow forest path,

Her feet leave behind fresh red footprints on earth,

And jingling anklets make the serpents steer off her way.

-- The jasmine bower fresh and fragrant as ever,

Fireflies adorn the bushes like earthen lamps in a house's courtyard.

The moon unveiled shines on the resplendent maiden

And like the chakora, she fills her eyes with the moonbeams,

In each, a vision of the man prisoned in heart.

-- The forest grows still.

Doe eyes search for him in every corner of the forest.

Is he playing games today? Must I walk and search for him now?

The love god too has dozed off, his bow and arrows discarded beside.

The garland around her neck now frail,

Tiny buds fall down and mingle with the earth...

»»————>○○○○○○○○○○○○<————««

And, rasikas, here we behold a man who did not keep his promise. Sends the extravagant betel leaf and promises of giving a beautiful night, but gives in to the sweet embrace of slumber while the beauty awaits in the forest, her once radiant face now pale in fear and annoyance.

Oh, the pain of shattered dreams filled of love, sweet words, passionate touches and long nights. How can one scorn a woman this way after long nights of loneliness?

Chuckle in mirth my friends, for the man dreams of kissing her lips in his sleep. Who shall tell him about his lover's wrath at dawn break tomorrow?

*******

Breathing hard into the lotus calyx

Annoyed at his care less actions,

She wipes an angry tear from her soft cheek.

Tosses away the wretched droopy garland,

Flings the silver anklet far across the room.

Red lips that should have been kissed curse the sun.

Arms that should have been curled around his neck

Lay bare bereft of bangles on the silken sheets.

Her bosom that should have carried drops of perspiration from a sweet night of love

That should have been kissed tenderly, Adorned with a chain of bites

Now heave in anger, wanting a respite.

The love god scoffs at the man yet deep in sleep

Who makes love the scorned woman in waking.

The love goddess pitifully caresses the heart broken girl,

And winces when the moon-like beauty sends

A silver box encasing an empty betel leaf and a lone anklet

Blessed Thargelia!

🌕Happy birthday Lady Artemis & Lord Apollon☀️

Orphic hymns⬇️

Artemis:

HEAR me, Jove's daughter, celebrated queen, Bacchian and Titan, of a noble mien:

In darts rejoicing, and on all to shine, Torch-bearing Goddess, Dictynna divine.

O'er births presiding, and thyself a maid, To labour pangs imparting ready aid:

Dissolver of the zone, and wrinkled care, Fierce huntress, glorying in the silvan war:

Swift in the course, in dreadful arrows skill'd, Wand' ring by night, rejoicing in the field:

Of manly form, erect, of bounteous mind, Illustrious demon, nurse of humankind:

Immortal, earthly, bane of monsters fell,

"Tis thine, blest maid, on woody mounts to dwell:

Foe of the stag, whom woods and dogs delight, In endless youth you flourish fair and bright.

O universal queen, august, divine,

A various form, Cydonian pow'r, is thine.

Dread guardian Goddess, with benignant mind, Auspicious come, to mystic rites inclin'd;

Give earth a store of beauteous fruits to bear, Send gentle Peace, and Health with lovely hair, And to the mountains drive Disease and Care.

Apollo:

BLEST Paan, come, propitious to my pray'r, Illustrious pow'r, whom Memphian tribes revere,

Slayer of Tityus, and the God of health, Lycorian Phœbus, fruitful source of wealth:

Spermatic, golden-lyr'd, the field from thee

Receives its constant rich fertility.

Titanic, Grunian, Smynthian, thee I sing,

Python-destroying, hallow d, Delphian king:

Rural, light-bearer, and the Muses' head, Noble and lovely, arm'd with arrows dread:

Far-darting, Bacchian, twofold, and divine,

Pow'r far diffus'd, and course oblique is thine.

O Delian king, whose light-producing eye Views all within, and all beneath the sky;

Whose locks are gold, whose oracles are sure, Who omens good reveal'st, and precepts pure;

Hear me entreating for the human kind, Hear, and be present with benignant mind;

For thou survey st this boundless ether all, And ev'ry part of this terrestrial ball Abundant, blessed; and thy piercing sight Extends beneath the gloomy, silent night;

Beyond the darkness, starry-ey'd, profound,

The stable roots, deep-fix'd by thee, are found.

The world's wide bounds, all-flourishing, are thine,

Thyself of all the source and end divine.

"Tis thine all Nature's music to inspire With various-sounding, harmonizing lyre:

Now the last string thou tun'st to sweet accord, Divinely warbling, now the highest chord;

Th' immortal golden lyre, now touch'd by thee,

Responsive yields a Dorian melody. All Nature's tribes to thee their diff'rence owe, And changing seasons from thy music flow:

Hence, mix'd by thee in equal parts, advance Summer and Winter in alternate dance;

This claims the highest, that the lowest string, The Dorian measure tunes the lovely spring:

Hence by mankind Pan royal, two-horn'd nam'd, Shrill winds emitting thro' the syrinx fam'd;

Since to thy care the figur'd seal's consign'd,

Which stamps the world with forms of every kind.

Hear me, blest pow'r, and in these rites rejoice, And save thy mystics with a suppliant voice.

assumption: you weren’t allowed to eat paan as a child and so you were mesmerized by its preparation

hmm rather than not allowed i wouldn't really eat paan (the sweetness + spiciness didn't really sit with me; i had a limited palate as a child ... even though i absolutely loved it's smell) even though my mom would always get one for me at weddings/parties

ive really grown to like it over the years and have started appreciating it's preparation too :")

[g0j0s]

sharing paan with a beloved.

their words have been dipped in a decoction of sweet jaggery and wrapped in the warm leaves of betel to be hand fed to one’s lover. verses of poetry drips from their mouths in your praises.

when they chew on the fragrant cardamom seeds laced with the reminder of the taste of your skin, your heart is also pestled with a longing.

soon the crimson stain appears on their tongue, painting a picture of the passion that they harbour for your caresses.

soon the lamps will burn out and their wicks will darken like the blanket of the night where the two lovers will unite.

As much as this scene can be seen as containing a lot of religious undertones, I gotta say that this plot development was pretty on point, in the sense that this was not something that one wouldn't see incoming.

Like how we see Ace still striving to make people happy, yet he realised that as much as his wish for people to become happy... and he found out later, even THAT had a cost. No matter how he'd try to spin it, someone would still end up suffering in order for some other's happiness to happen. Yet, can one stop trying to strive for that happiness?

And we see from Keiwa's pov when he found out that his family (as well as other innocent people as well as players) ended up being sacrificed - as a collateral damage - to become fuel for Mitsume to use to change/remake the world how many times a new Desaity won and 'earned' their wish. How can Keiwa NOT hate the fact that such sacrifices had to be made? Even if he knows that Mitsume was innocent and coerced to do what she did, does that change the fact that her powers was what led to DGP causing all these calamities? Since at first the DGP prize for the victor had only just be a coin and the glory that came with it, but since Mitsume's power was awakened it led to the DGP having the prize of one's wish as the ultimate goal.

Yet there's also that same conflict where Keiwa also realize that in order to save/recover the lives that had been lost, he's also had to use that same method that he hated, in order to make it happen. How can he NOT hate himself for that very same desire/action and not fall into despair and lose any faith that he could really escape from that vicious cycle and just gave up on everything? And still, Keiwa wished that he could still have a bit of happiness (aka getting his family back) but can he really be happy, knowing that the happiness he received was at the cost of someone else's suffering? So he just shut himself off from that thought.

Regardless, Ace still wished to create an ideal world where everyone is happy, and it's not just 'certain' people who can be allowed to be happy... but it's a world that Keiwa could be happy, a world where Buffa can be happy, a world where Neon can be happy, even Nadge, Kekera, Beroba, Da-paan, Gyago, Neon's mom, countless other unknown people... heck even Mary (probably) can be happy... regardless of whenever misdeed that they have done. Because being UNhappy was what caused other people to hurt another. But in order to do that, one really does need to not HATE the person (regardless if their actions are hateful) in order to be able to give that [someone] happiness.

So that was the core of everything... and later we can see this used by Keiwa to allow him to still be able to forgive Daichi (as well as forgive himself and resolve his issues with Miichi).

And that was a pretty sweet kind of reasoning coming from Ace. 💖💖💖
