Method: Clean the gond and keep aside. Lightly toast the cashews, almonds and chironji in ghee, adding the coconut in too for a quick toss. Set this aside, and add some more ghee to the pan heating it enough so that the gond puffs and rises well (instead of getting bitter). Keep aside and add more ghee then toast the atta in it till golden brown. Add in the nuts and cardamom powder. Once the temperature comes down a little, mix in the jaggery. Wait for mixture to be warm instead of hot, apply palm to your ghees and roll into balls. If made properly, gond ke laddu keep well until a whole month when stored in a glass jar.
