  • 2 tbs gond katira tragacanth gum,optional
  • 2 tbs pistachio
  • 2 tbs almond

Instructions

Preparation steps.

  • Spread grated jaggery in a wide plate or tray.Roughly grind gond katira (tragacanth gum), almond and pistachio in a mortar and pestle.
  • Grind all separately.Grind green cardamom too in mortar and pestle and remove its skin. We need the powdered seeds only.

Cooking steps.

  • First, heat oil or ghee in a pan on medium heat. When oil is hot, add gond katira and turn off flame.
  • The gond will puff up and get doubled and turn transparent. Take out immediately from oil and place on a plate. The oil should not be very hot as gond get burn quickly.
  • Let the gond cool down for few minutes.While the gond cool down.In same oil fry powdered cardamom.
  • Then add grinded pistachios and almonds. Fry for 20 second on medium heat. But don't burn them.
  • Remove from heat and let cool completely as hot oil can melt the jaggery.
  • When oil mixture is cool spread on jaggery. Add the solid nuts first, mix and then add as much oil as desired. (don't add all oil)
  • Put cooled and puffed gond in mortar and pestle again and grind but very lightly. Just to separate the pieces. Add it to jaggery too. Mix well.
  • Aroma infused and crunchy jaggery/ gur is ready to be eaten with roti.

Notes

Store the gur in an air tight jar.The gur stays good on the counter for more than a month.So you can keep as much as you can consume in a week on counter and remaining in the fridge.
