Gond Pak

A dense winter sweet made by frying edible gum (gond/gondh) in ghee until it puffs into crunchy amber spheres, then mixing it into a base of ghee-roasted wheat flour (atta), jaggery or sugar, dry ginger, and cardamom. Set in a tray and cut into squares, gond pak is prepared across Rajasthan and Gujarat for new mothers and winter nutrition — the Kutchi version uses more dry ginger and is less sweet than Rajasthani variants.
