Lisa Geetha replied. Hi Lisa ,

How are you doing , hope you doing good ... This is the recipe for Gond Ke Laddoo ....

Ingredients :
500 gm. chapatti flour
• 500 gm. ground sugar
• 350 gm. clarified butter
• 50 gm. puffed lotus seeds or makhane
• 30 gm. edible gum resin or 'gond'
• 6 green cardamoms, skins removed and seeds ground or 1 tsp. cardamom powder
• 2 tbs. peeled melon seeds*
• 1 tbs. unsalted pistachios, chopped finely*
• 2 tbs. almonds, chopped or sliced*
• 2 tbs. cashew nuts, chopped*
• *All these 4 ingredients should make roughly 1 cup all together

Cooking Method :
1. Dry fry puffed lotus seeds in a wok or kadahi, until lightly brown. They will be crisp when cold. Break them roughly with a rolling pin or in a food processor. Do not powder them. Keep aside.
2. Break gum resin coarsely by placing it between two folds of a towel and pounding gently with a rolling pin. You must not powder it. It should be coarse and granular.
3. Heat ghee in a wok or karahi/kadhai.
4. Deep-fry gum resin on medium heat, stirring it up all the time, to ensure that every single piece is fried. Un-cooked gum is sticky! It fluffs up to almost double very quickly, within seconds. Lift it out of the ghee, as soon as it fluffs up. Otherwise, it will burn and get bitter. Keep aside on a plate.
5. Heat remaining ghee again. Fry flour in it, until it is light brown and emits 'roasted' aroma. Ghee separates from the flour when it is ready.
6. Turn heat off. Add fried gum to the flour and continue stirring.
7. Add rest of the ingredients (cardamoms, melon seeds, pistachios, almonds, cashew nuts) and mix well.
8. Allow to cool until is it can be touched by hand comfortably.
9. Take small handfuls in your palm and roll them into balls or laddoos, approximately 1 1/2 -2 inch in diameter.
