Dear vandana,
I am sending you the recipe of \" Gond ka ladoo\" , but you are needed some friends who can help you in making this.Or else you can make of your own this before your delivery date.It remains fresh for one or two months.

Gond Ka Ladoo

100 gms edible gum crystals,broken into small pieces 100 gms gud or sugar powdered, 100 gms ghee 50 gms almonds roughly powdered 50 gms dried dates (CHUHARA)roughly powdered little nutmeg powder 2 tblsp grated copra (dry coconut) 1 tbsp poppy seeds (khus khus)

First method:-
In very hot ghee fry the gum pieces till they fluff up like pop corn.Keep aside and in the same pan but witout ghee roast coconut, khus khus,almonds and dried dates.Mix all together.Add nutmeg and powdered sugar or melted gud/jaggery( It must be ek taar ki chashney) and make laddus.

Second Method:-
In this second method the gum is not fried but kept as it is.Finely grind the gum and pour very hot ghee over it so as to soak the gum powder completely.Let remain in a cool place for 3 to 4 days.Then mix with all the ingredients like above and add powdered sugar or ek taar ki chashney( you can test it by your two fingers) and make laddus.Make the size small as one small one goes a long way. See that you get good quality edible gum.As this is the most important part.Do not get any water in contact while making laddu
.YOU CAN ALSO ADD ANY OTHER DRY FRUIT IF YOU LIKE.
Best of luck
