It is a natural gum. The tree grows in India and Africa.It provides heat to the body and it will save you naturally from cold and cough. Besides that it helps to lower the cholesterol and use to heal wounds also. Traditionally , this ladoos are given to new mother to meet the nutrition in India.
I take this recipe from my mother in law. I just add some dry nuts to her recipe as my kids do not like to eat the gum ladoo alone and it taste better too when added dry nuts.
To prepare these ladoo we need
- Whole wheat flour (atta) 1 cup
- Sugar 3/4 cup
- Almond 1/4 cup
- Cheshew nut 1/4 cup
- Ghee ( clarified butter) 1/2 cup
- Edible gum 1/4 cup
- Cardamom powder 1 tea spoon
Method:
- Powered the sugar and the dry nut separately . Keep it. (You can cut the nuts in small pieces if you like)
- Fry the edible gum putting ghee in a pan . It will fluff up immediately and the gum will be in double size.
- Fry it in batches.
- Powdered the fried gum with a rollin pin.
- Roast the wheat flour in the same ghee reducing the heat to medium low.
- Stir continuously. It will take 10 to 15 minute.
- Switch off the heat.
- Add powdered sugar, nuts and cardamom powder to the flour.
- Mix it very well with the flour.
- Transfer it to a plate.
- Let it cool for sometime .
- Take a handfull and make ball when it is still a little hot. If you find difficulty to make balls rub a little ghee in your palm.Or you can add a table spoon of ghee in wheat flour mixture.( You can add more ghee if you like)
- Keep the ladoos ( Gum ball) in open air for some time and you can keep for month in a airtight container.
