Make these for the upcoming winter season and feed your family for their good health. Here is how to make Gond Laddu recipe.

My days spent in Rajasthan were always blissful. My grandparents’ house being there, our stay was nothing but royal and luxurious every time we visited them. We used to visit them during Diwali holidays as well as Summer holidays and as loving as any grandparents can be, my grandma left no stone unturned to make us feel all the more happy!

Right from our rooms being decorated and made all spic and span till ideating umpteen, authentic dishes for us, my supergrandma managed it all with swag. While during summer holidays, she served us chilled Sattu ka Namkeen Sharbat, the winter had a special menu of Rajasthani Safed Maas, Rajasthani Pitori ki Sabzi, Rajasthani Mawa Kachori and even Gond ke Laddu to beat all the pink cold of winter.

There was a time when I used to hate eating Atta Gond ke Ladoo despite my mom’s and grandma’s repeated convincing for it being good for our health. Now that I am mom myself, I truly understand their significance.

 It is mostly served with a glass of warm milk and often eaten even as it is. These Atta Gond laddu are also made for the new mother’s to give after delivery as these helps to keep the body system warm and helps in lactation.
