Instructions

Prepare the Edible Gum

Toast the edible gum in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant. Set aside to cool.

Roast the Flour and Coconut

Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat. Add the whole wheat flour and roast, stirring constantly, until lightly golden brown. Add the shredded coconut and roast for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Combine and Mix

Add the grated jaggery and cardamom powder to the pan. Mix well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the jaggery melts and the mixture is well combined and slightly sticky. Stir in the toasted edible gum.

Shape the Laddoos

Remove the pan from the heat. Let the mixture cool slightly. Moisten your hands with water. Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball to form a ladoo. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve the laddoos immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until it reaches a consistency that can be easily rolled into balls.
Garnish the laddoos with chopped nuts or dried fruits for added flavor and texture.
