I am a big fan of sweet beeda.My lunch in restaurants never completes without a beeda.In some hotels , beeda is not served in thali .So we used to roam(me & my father) around in search of beeda shops..Now after marriage,Sendhil buys beeda specially for me though he don’t like it much..Recently my MIL gave me a box of gulkand.Though there are many yummy gulkand recipes , beeda flashed in my mind ;)..But never thought i could make beeda at home until i saw this video.

I hope step by step pictures gives u a clear idea.Surprise ur guests & elders at home with this beeda after a heavy lunch menu.For a simple beeda recipe , please refer “Notes” section..

    Hi, Chitra. Yesterday I have tried sweet beeda for the 1st time in my life and fall in love with it. I am going to try your recipe, but i have a doubt here. Hope you can help me on this. What is sweet saunf, mixed pan masala and gulkhand? I am living in Malaysia, I have a hard time to look for this items in stores.

      Hello kamal
      Sweet saunf , pan masala and gulkand are the condiments used.gulkand is made using dried rose petals.pan masala is optional here.sweet saunf is nothing but sweetened fennel seeds.i guess u can find all these in condiments section of any big departmental stores.
