Wheat balls and gum sweet balls(Aata aur gond ke ladoo)

Ingredients;

Aata (Whole Wheat Flour) - 2 cups
Mixed Nuts - 1 cup, chopped, I used an authentic mix of cashew, almonds and
 pecans Gond (Edible Gum) -1 cup
Jaggery - 1.5 cups
Kali Mirch (Black Pepper) -2 tsps, coarsely ground
Ghee (Clarified Butter) - 1 cup

Method;

Take 2 tbsp ghee in a non-stick pan and roast all nuts till golden brown and keep aside. Take 2 tbsp ghee in the same pan and roast gond crystals, till golden brown. They originally look like misri or rock sugar crystals (clear color), but once they are roasted, they look white (like sago papad). They basically get puffed up when roasting and you have to let them all nicely roasted. Keep them aside. I quickly blended to crush them to coarse powder. You can use your hands too for this, as they are easily mash able:) Heat the rest of the ghee in the same pan and roast aata till nice aroma comes and it has a nice color. Take it off the heat immediately. Mix everything (including black pepper) in a big bowl and let it cool down till you can shape the mix in ball form. Make them into desired shaped or sized balls and enjoy .
