Gond ke laddu

Gond (Edible gum) is usually sourced from plant gums, essentially derived from middle eastern legume or acacia plants. In India edible gum primarily sourced from babool(keekar) is a member of the acacia family. Edible gum producing plants found in the Middle East, parts of Gujrat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Punjab. 
   Gond is widely used in ayurvedic preparations and is great for boosting immunity, stamina, and health, it is also beneficial for people with a week nervous system, anxiety, depression, and low vitamin D levels. Gond is also useful for lung-related issues, weakness, and fatigue.
  One of the most popular uses in India is while preparing nourishing laddus that are usually consumed in winter months. The reason why edible gum chiefly worked in laddus because just one of that calorific and nutrition-packed laddu will give you the nutrition boost required for the day. 
My mother prepares these laddus every year during the winter season. The recipe I am sharing here is gond ke laddu or we call it "thand ke laddu" at my home. I am using Moong daal flour, Urad daal flour, Gond (Edible gum) Ghee, Cashew, Almond, Pistachios, and sugar.
Gond ke laddu also consumed post-pregnancy, or by lactating mothers but the recipe I am sharing here is not for post-pregnancy recovery because I have used urad daal flour, moong daal flour, and cashew nuts which is not suitable for post-pregnancy. I will try to share gond ke laddu recipe for post-pregnancy which calls for whole wheat flour and lots of ghee and some other ingredients for extra nourishment needed for recovery.
