Gond Laddoo

Amrutam India के द्वारा

Gond laddoo is a traditional winter delight. Gond (edible Acacia gum) provides the much-needed heat and energy during chilling winters. It's also very beneficial for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. They are a blockbuster combination of amazing taste with nutrients like calcium, protein, and magnesium. Due to their long-lasting nature, you can make your entire winter stock at one time and enjoy it for the entire season, especially when combined with pure desi ghee.

Ingredients:

250 gms Amrutam Desi Ghee

200 gms Gond

200 gms Wheat Flour

350 gms Sugar

1 tbsp Melon Seeds

35 to 40 chopped Almonds

10 Cardamom (peeled and crushed)

Method:

  • Heat Amrutam ghee in a pan on a low flame and fry Gond in small batches.

  • Filter flour and fry it in the leftover Ghee till it turns pink, and remove on a plate.

  • After the Gond cools, press with a rolling pin on the plate itself to make finer Gond.

  • Add sugar and 3/4 cup water in the pan, prepare the Chashni (sugar syrup, two thread consistency).

  • Add fried Gond, flour, almonds and Elaichi powder into Chashni, mix all the ingredients properly with your hands.

  • Take a small amount of the mixture in your hand, make a round laddoo, and keep it on a plate. Continue this exercise till the batter is over.

  • Keep the Ladoos in the open air for 1-2 hours, and store in an airtight container.

Notes:

  • If you’re pregnant and haven’t consumed gond before, please consult your doctor in advance.

  • Do not confuse gond with gond katira, another kind of edible gum. Gond is also known as Dink in Marathi and Antu in Kannada.

  • Please purchase gond from a reliable source; preferably Ayurvedic stores.
