To begin making Gond Ke Ladoo, in a large and heavy bottomed pan, add 350 ml ghee and melt it on a low flame

Once the ghee is hot and melted, add gond/edible gum in the pan little at a time and fry on low flame until the goond puffs up like popcorn and crisps up

Make sure that goond is completely cooked from inside and outside

Repeat process with rest of the goond

Once goond is fried, using a ladle spoon out the goond from the ghee and keep aside to cool down

Into the same pan containing the melted ghee, add whole wheat flour and roast until it becomes aromatic and brown

The mixture should be crumbly

Turn off the flame

Transfer the flour on to a plate

Add the powdered sugar and all dry fruits and mix well

Let the mixture cool down

Meanwhile, once the goond has cooled, with a rolling pin, crush them into a coarse powder

Add this crushed goond in to wheat and dry fruit flour mixture

Now take little amount of mixture in your hands and give them round shape

Small or big that is totally up to you

Keep them aside for few hours, it will help the ladoos to set properly

You can keep them in airtight container for a month
