INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Cup Atta (Whole Wheat Flour)
• 1 Cup MorSweet Sugar
• 20gm edible Gond (Edible Gum Resin)
• 10-12 Almonds
• 10-12 Cashew Nuts
• 1/4 Cup Raisins (Kishmish)
• 1/4 Cup Pistachios
• 1/2 Cup Ghee

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1:

To make Gond Ke Ladoo- Break the gond into crystalline pieces for deep frying. Do not make very small pieces or powder it.

Step 2:

Now heat the ghee in a kadai or pan, and put the gond pieces into it. Keep deep frying them on a medium flame.

Step 3:

Take out the fried Gond and keep it aside to allow it to cool down to room temperature.

Step 4:

Now, in a heavy bottomed pan, put whole wheat flour and the ghee used for frying.

Step 5:

Place the pan on a low flame and stir the ingredients well so that they mix together.

Step 6:

Stir the mixture continuously for about 20-30 minutes till the flour turns brown accompanied by a distinct aroma. At this stage, the mixture will start releasing ghee from the sides.

Step 7:

Take care to stir continuously else the flour and ghee mixture will stick to the bottom of the pan.

Step 8:

Turn off the flame and allow it to cool a bit to a point where it still retains its warmth.

Step 9:

Now add MorSweet Sugar to the mixture and mix well.

Step 10:

With your hands, crush the gond which was deep fried earlier and add it to the mixture in the kadai.

Step 11:

Also add finely cut pieces of almonds, cashew nuts, raisins and mix well. The remaining heat in the mixture is sufficient to condition the dry fruits.

Step 12:

Now, make ladoos from the mixture by pressing and shaping it between your hands while the mixture is still warm.

Step 13:

Gond Ke Ladoos are ready to serve. Garnish it with finely cut pieces of dry fruit and allow it to cool fully before storing in an airtight container.
