Gond ke Ladoo

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. My parents and we siblings, 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 Ladoo to beat all the pink cold of winter.

There was a time when I used to hate eating 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.

Made using edible gum resin (gond), whole wheat flour, heaps of makhana, chironji, various seeds and enriching dry fruits, Gond ke Ladoo is a traditional sweet that is popular across Rajasthan. It is mostly served with a glass of warm milk and often eaten even as it is. These ladoos are also made for the new mother’s as these helps to keep the body system warm and helps in lactation.

What are the benefits of Gond or Edible Gum?

Gond has a lot of medicinal value. It not only cures heat stroke but it even combats constipation, improves the health of skin and hair along with increasing our overall immunity. It helps in strengthening the immune system and also cure mouth ulcers.

Gond ke Ladoo is a delicious way of imbibing the goodness of gond in your diet, hence, I am surely suggesting that you try it out soon and munch one of the healthiest and yummiest Indian sweet. Here’s how to make it:
