Gond Makhana Laddoo
Light. Nutty. Delicate. Nourishing.
The lighter of the two. Makhana is roasted until it shatters, then ground with almonds, cashews, and sesame. Misri keeps the sweetness clean instead of heavy, and it stays soft enough for anyone.

Tradition, explained
Makhana was a festival food long before it was a health food.
Fox nuts have been harvested from ponds in eastern India for centuries, roasted in ghee, salted, and eaten by the handful. Gond katira is a plant derived pantry ingredient used in Indian preparations, particularly ones associated with rest and recovery.
Prasi makes this laddoo the way it was made at home — roasted until light, ground with nuts and sesame, sweetened just enough with misri.
