Gond ke laddu is a popular northern Indian winter sweet. Gond, or edible gum, is also known as Badam pisin. I used wheat flour for this ladoo, but you could use millet flour or roasted gramme flour instead. Gond laddu are both tasty and nutritious.
Badam Pisin or Acacia Gum, also known as Dink in Marathi, is the Gond used in this recipe. I first learned Badam Pisin while researching Jigarthanda. Every summer, I’ve been making Jigarthanda. I wanted to do something different with Gond. I’ve narrowed it down to a few. One such recipe is Gond Ke Ladoo.
These ladoos are packed with nuts, wheat flour, and Gond and are a filling yet healthy recipe. It is suitable for nursing or lactating mothers.
