Gond ka Laddo is a very Popular dish in India. It’s made up of wheat flour mixed with edible gums and nuts which become very rich in taste. Gond or edible gum crystals are available in small pieces which are cooked before eating. Generally, we fry these gum crystals with ghee and mix with wheat flour but in this recipe, i haven’t fried I used this gum crystals at last when the wheat flour is about to get roasted. Saute it for 5 to 6 mins Gums will all fluffs up due to heat.
