Gond Halwa Recipe | Gond Ka Sheera – Best Medicine For Bones with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Halwa or sheera recipe is generally made with different types of cereals and flours. The most common is wheat flour or semolina which gives the perfect texture and consistency of a traditional halwa recipe. However, the same halwa can be further extended by adding the edible gum that is popularly known as gond halwa or gond ka sheera.
As I explained earlier, the gond or edible gum is mainly used as an additional ingredient with popular sweets or desserts. As such it does not have its dessert recipe. There isn’t any particular reason for it and hence sky is the limit to explore. Halwa dessert can be an ideal option to try this. The advantage of trying a halwa recipe is the portion control with it. Typically, when it is added to ladoo or barfi, it is generally big, and finishing it can add a lot of calories to our diet. With the moist powdered form, we can control or consume as we need. Hence it makes an ideal healthy dessert in terms of calorie count. Do try this and I am sure you would certainly love it.
Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the Gond halwa recipe. Firstly, I added wheat flour, semolina, and besan to this recipe for the flaky texture. However, you can skip semolina and besan to use just wheat flour if you like atta ka halwa sheera. Secondly, fry the Gond on low to medium flame so that it puffs up. If it does not puff, it may be sticky and stick to teeth while consuming it. Also, if you do not wish to add gond as puffed balls, you may crush it to fine powder. You may need a sharp-edged blender to powder it to the desired consistency.
