Gond Ke Laddu Recipe | Urad Dal Gond Laddu | Winter Recipes

Gond Ke Ladoo /Laddu is a perfect winter treat and especially for lactating mothers.I came to know about this when i was talking to my friend about my back pain and she said some edible gum helps in recovering from it.I also saw spusht nisha post.She mentioned that it is good for lactating mothers .


     When i was searching for the recipe i came to know that these are popular in Rajasthan,Gujarat and Maharashtra and is eaten during the winter months.These are highly nutritious and cannot be digested easily so people used to eat it at morning to give time for digestion.
     This recipe also got urad dal flour.I know urad dal is good for uterus. In our community after puberty girls will be given lots of uluthan Kali a sweet made with urad dal and jaggery along with ghee or gingelly oil to strength the back.So this combination of urad and gond must be a healthy and delicious treat for ladies during winters. This can also be given to kids along with a glass of milk. They will surely love because of the sweetness and rich taste.

       Other Names include 'panjiri' .'Dink ladoo' or 'dinkache ladoo' in Marathi .It is called as also 'Guntar ladoo' in Gujarati.
     While doing i couldn't make the flour come to sandy consistency so i roasted until the raw smell of urad dal powder is gone.After adding the nuts the flour has come together so it is not difficult for me to shape them.Also i added chopped dates instead of dates powder mentioned in the original recipe.I suggest you add the ghee mentioned as i read this edible gum creates heat in body. Ghee reduces the heat in body.
      Original recipe calls for grinding the urad dal to batter but i had used flour instead.If you can do grinding then follow the same procedure by adding the batter instead of flour.
Let me know if you have any family recipe of this ladoo.I am eager to know about different methods of making .

  4. Thank you for sharing the benefits of Urad Dal and Gond. I was aware that Gond was good for lactating mothers as a Punjabi friend of my mum-in-law kept a constant supply of pinni after I delivered. But I was not aware of the benefits to back pain. Off late I have developed upper back pain and would definitely try making these laddos and having them. The kind I have tasted before, has all these ingredients except Urad dal. So will include Urad dal and intake its goodness too. Thanks for sharing these useful information.
