Hi it's look amazing I am going to try this weekend but just one question what can I use instead of panda leaf or is it OK if I don't use at all ☺
Hi Priti,
i’m a bit late with my comment,coz i just saw this post.
So,instead of pandan leaf you can use the small bay leafs.
You can google to see what it looks like.
Hope this helps
