Gond Ke Ladoo- delicious and nutritious winter special ladoo made with wheat flour, nuts and edible gum

Gond ke ladoo are made specially during winter .This is a specialty from Rajasthan and Punjab but now very popular in every state of India . These Gond ladoo’s are popular in Punjab as Pinni or Panjiri ke Ladoo. One Gond ladoo with a glass of milk in your breakfast will give you energy for the whole day.

How To Make Gond Ke Ladoo-

A special type of edible gum/gum arabic  is used to make these laddoo. The small gum pieces are deep fried in hot ghee, during frying the gum pieces swell up and crackle like pop corns.

The frying of gum should be done perfectly on correct temperature because if they are not fried well then they remain raw from inside and will stick to your teeth while eating. The fried gum either can be crushed, ground into powder or can be used without crushing. It depends on individual choice. I slightly crushed the fried gum with a spoon , as I love the crisp gum bites in my ladoo’s.

To check if the gum is fried well or not ,just crush the fried gum piece between your fingers the gum should turn into powder if it’s done perfectly.

A good quantity of dry nuts are added to make these laddoos , you can add your choice of nuts . You can add mixed nuts or just almonds. I have added equal quantity of almonds,pistachio and cashews. You can also add half nuts and half melon seeds or just add melon seeds.This depends entirely on your preference and availability. Ginger powder and nuts are added in the ladoo to make it more nutritious and to add warmth .

Traditionally bura chini is added in the ladoo’s but you can use castor sugar but make sure to add castor sugar or bura only when the mixture cool down else the sugar will release water on adding in hot flour mixture.You can make any size of ladoo as per your choice or just store the mixture in a box or jar and take few tbsp mixture daily with milk.

Health Benefits Of Gond Ke Ladoo

These Gond laddo’s are very nutritious as they give warmth and energy during winters .Everyone can eat these ladoo as they are good to boost immunity and helps to fight with cold .  One Gond ladoo will give you enough energy for the whole day.These ladoo’s are also very good post natal food for new mothers and lactating mothers.They can have one ladoo in the morning with breakfast and one at night . You can easily store these ladoo’s for 3-4 months.

Ingredients

  • 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour / Atta
  • 2 cup Clarified Butter / Desi Ghee *
  • 1.5 cup Mixed Dry fruits/mewa
  • 1/2 cup Gond/Edible gum/ Gum arabica
  • 3/4 cup Dry coconut grated
  • 2.25 cup Castor sugar/ bura
  • 2 tbsp Dried Ginger / Saunth
  • 12 Kharik /dry dates, * optional

Instructions

  • Crush the nuts coarsely and keep aside. Remove the seeds from kharik/dried dates and grind to make a fine powder
  • Take a heavy bottom wide deep pan and add 4 tbsp of ghee in it.
  • When ghee become hot then lower the flame to medium and add 1/3 portion of the gum in it and fry . then gum will swell up like popcorn, fry till all the pieces swell up.
  • Remove the fried gum in a plate. repeat the process twice to fry the remaining gum.you have to fry the total gum in 3 batches,if you add THE whole gum together then it may not roast well and remain uncooked from the center.
  • When you finish frying all the gum ,take all the fried gum in a plate and let it come down to room temperature and then slightly crush the fried gum with the back of a big spoon.(crushing is optional,you can grind it, crush it or use as it is - it depend on your personal preference)
  • Add 1.5 cup ghee in the pan and add the wheat flour in it. stir fry the flour on low heat and keep stirring the flour continuously else it may burn from the bottom.
  • Keep stirring till the flour become nice golden in colour and start giving a nice aroma.(over roasting should also be avoided as it will taste bitter on over roasting)
  • Now switch off the flame and add the crushed nuts and the grated coconut in the pan and keep stirring ,the nuts get roasted in the hot flour.
  • Let the roasted flour temperature comes down and when it is still slight warm then add the crushed gum/gond,kharik powder and the ginger powder and mix.
  • Add the bura or the castor sugar and mix well.
  • Make small size laddoo from the mixture. If you have difficulity in making ladoo then add 2-3 tsp melted ghee in the mixture and then make ladoo.
  • Store in a air tight jar after few hours.
  • You can make any size of ladoo as per your choice or just store the mixture in a box or jar and take few tbsp mixture daily with milk.

Notes

Note-
  1. Fry gond on medium to low heat ,if you fry on high heat it will remain raw from the center and will stick to your teeth while eating.
  2. You can use a mix of almonds, pistachio and cashew nuts or use just almonds.
  3. Can use melon seeds instead of nuts.
  4. If Kharik is not available then skip and increase the amount of coconut.
  5. Roast the flour on low heat ,frying on high heat will not give good result.
  6. Addition of ginger powder is optional ,you can also use ganthoda powder or peppramul instead of ginger powder.
  7. You can use desiccated coconut if dry whole coconut is not available but I prefer to use the dry one.
  8. You can use 1/2 cup gond instead of using 1/3 cup.
  9. You can make any size of ladoo as per your choice or just store the mixture in a box or jar and take few tbsp mixture daily with milk.
