Gond Ke Ladoo


Ingredients:

Gond (dink, gum)- 300gms
Wheat Flour- 1 kg
Desi Ghee- 1.5 kg
Sugar- 1 kg
Mawa (Khoya)- 1 kg
Grated coconut- 2cups
Badam (Almonds)- 100 gms
Cashew nuts- 100 gms
Raisins (Kismish)- 50 gms
Cardamom (Elaichi)- 10gms

Procedure:

Crush Gond and then add it to ghee in a frying kadai and stirr it continuosly untill the gond swells.

Roast Mawa earlier and keep it aside.

In another kadai add 750gms of ghee and to it add wheat flour. Stirr it till it becomes pinkish in colour (in a low flame).

Now to this mixture add Mawa which was earlier roasted and to this also add gond (dink,gum). Add sugar, and grated coconut to this mixture. Once this is done, add Almonds, Raisins, Cashew nuts to this mixture and then make small balls of this mixture. (Make ladoos of this mixture when the mixture is hot, otherwise it is difficult to make once the mixture is cold.). If you are unable to make them into small balls, add hot ghee to the mixture and try making it again (do not add hot water or milk).

The healthy and nutritious ladoos are ready to eat.
