In a blender jar add paan, fennel, rose petals, fennel seeds and cardamom. Whip with 1 teaspoon milk to get a paste. Set aside.
Heat milk and cream in a pan. Add sugar.
Once the mix has heated up, add the processed paan mix, agar agar powder and a little green color.
Bring to a boil.
Then turn down the heat and strain using a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or jar.
Quickly transfer that to the bowls you need the panna cotta to set in.
Set aside till they come to room temperature and then refrigerate.
Remove once they are set (2-3 hours) and top with dried rose petals and colorful fennel seeds. Serve!

As we are working with agar agar, the mix tends to set quickly. So keep the fine mesh strainer, bowls etc ready before you start.
Adding green color to the panna cotta is optional. If you want a bright version add it, else skip it.
Using non-dairy milk like coconut makes the recipe Vegan.
The same panna cotta can be served in the bowl it is set in or turn it over into plates and serve.
