Gor-Goond-Gehu (G3) Laddu (Jaggery-Gum-Whole wheat Laddu)
This is a modified version of the famous Whole wheat laddu that has edible gum in it and traditionally our grand parents used to prepare it with Gor (Jaggery that is unrefined non distilled brown sugar that comes in solid form and you can grate it or break it and heat it up slowly to soften to make a syrup that binds and sweetens the laddus.
1. Mix 2 tablespoons ghee and 4 cups of whole wheat with a cup of warm milk adding the milk slowly so as to make the dough not too soft. If need be add a little warm water.
2. Make small rounds balls with a dent in the middle and deep fry it in a 1 cup of ghee, in few batches at a go. This should be done on a medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the Muthias (dumplings) are good in golden color and hard.
3. Cool it and break it or put it in a blender to crush it to a fine crunchy consistency. If need be pass it thru a strainer to get a uniformed consistency.
4. In the remaining ghee, fry the edible Gum (goond). This will be quick as it will puff up. Let it cool and crush it by your hand. Add into the fine blended wheat flour.
5. Chop the nuts and together with the spices add into the flour mixture.
6. In a heavy bottomed pot put some ghee and add jaggery (Gor) to soften and make it thick syrup. Please be careful and do not overheat as it will turn bitter and not so good smell as well as burned color. Keep stirring until it is to a desired consistency melted and soft and ready to mix in the flour and gum mixture.
7. Add the syrup into the flour, gum and nut mixture and start mixing well. Add about a cup of ghee slowly as needed and start forming the laddus. Depending upon the size you can get 50 of them. The above are double in size but you can make smaller ones so you get 50.
Store in an air tight container.
