What is Gond Laddu?

Gond Laddu in pregnancy is a kind of Indian sweet prepared by mixing edible gum or gond- a naturally occurring tree resin- with ghee, unrefined cane sugar, and dry fruits. The base ingredient for this favored winter delicacy is wheat flour that is mixed with other ingredients and slowly roasted over a low flame. Other ingredients such as jaggery, almonds, cashews, dates, melon seeds, poppy seeds, and nutmeg can also be added to make this a wholesome sweet. This popular sweet ball also goes by several other names, such as Dinkache Laddu in Gujarati and Dinkache in Marathi. In Hindi, it is called Gond ke laddu.
