In a video posted by Instagram user @thegreatindianfoodie, we can see a man preparing the paan. He firsts adda katha, masala, rose paste, chandan paste, and other ingredients of a paan on a leaf. Then he tops it three silver sheets. Above that, he adds what seems to be powdered coconut, a few candied pieces, lots of gulkand and closes the pan. Finally, he puts the gold sheet on the outside and serves it. According to @thegreatindianfoodie, a piece of this paan costs INR 760. Take a look at the video here:
Ever since this video was uploaded, it has been viewed 4.8 million times and has received 292k likes and hundreds of comments!
Despite this video going popular, many people have added sarcastic comments regarding the price of the paan. One user said, "Rahne do bhai mai 5 rupya wale mai khush hoon (Please let it be, I am happy in Rs. 5 paan only)." Another user said, "That gold paper cost rupees 210 only, and the cost of a single paan is 5 to 10 rupees. And they are selling it for 760, mehenga chuna."
Many other people have also said that this paan doesn't look worth spending so much money on.
