Gond  ladoo or Edible gum ladoo is a winter special ladoo made in North India with wheat flour, edible gum or gond, some nuts, sugar and ghee. It is a nutrient dense ladoo as we have added nuts, seeds  and dried dates in it. I learnt this recipe from one of my friends and I have posted that version beforehand itself. Gond is also called as edible gum in English and Dink in Marathi. It is believed that Gond / Edible gum ladoo will help in reducing leg pain and strengthen the bone.

Types of Gond

There are two types of gum or gond available in India.

1. Tragacanth gum which is called as badam pisin in tamil. It has cooling properties and is used in Summer. The most popular one is jigarthanda.
2. Acacia gum is the one that we have used in this recipe. It gives heat to the body and is used widely in Winters. It helps in keeping the body warm. Also it is given to nursing mothers for lactation and to strengthen the backbone.

Important points

• Please avoid it during pregnancy since it is heaty and increases the body heat.
• Gond has to be deep fried else it will not puff up. The raw gond can cause stomach problems.
• We can add foxnuts or makhana, flax seeds, more nuts and seeds.
• Usually unrefined sugar which is called as khandsari is used as a sweetener. But we can also use powdered refined sugar or jaggery.
