Instructions
- 1Dry-roast almonds and cashews on low heat until fragrant; cool and chop coarsely.
- 2Heat 2 Tbsp ghee; fry edible gum in small batches until fully puffed. Crush lightly after cooling.
- 3Dry-roast fenugreek, ajwain and fennel (if using) until aromatic; cool and grind to a fine powder.
- 4In the same pan, add remaining ghee; add wheat flour and roast on very low heat 15–20 min, stirring, until deep golden and nutty.
- 5Stir in ginger, turmeric and black-pepper powders; cook 1 minute. Remove pan from heat.
- 6Separately melt grated jaggery with ¼ cup water on low flame; cook to soft-ball stage (drop in cold water—it should form a pliable ball).
- 7Combine roasted flour, spice powder, puffed gond, chopped nuts in a large bowl. Pour hot jaggery syrup and mix quickly with a spatula.
- 8When mixture is warm but safe to touch, grease palms with ghee and roll tight laddus about 3–4 cm across.
- 9Cool laddus completely; store in an airtight jar up to 4 weeks. Serve 1–2 laddus daily with warm milk for postpartum nourishment.
