Heat a pan and add one tablespoon of ghee. Fry the almonds and cashews until golden brown, then set them aside on a plate.
Add dried coconut to the same pan and roast it on a low flame for one to two minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add a little more ghee and fry the Gond (edible gum) until it puffs up. Remove and set aside.
Add wheat flour and roasted chickpea flour (sattu) to the pan along with ghee. Roast the mixture until it turns light golden brown.
Take the roasted mixture and add jaggery and water to it. Heat until the jaggery melts and comes to a boil.
Strain the jaggery syrup into the roasted mixture and mix everything well.
Shape the mixture into small balls to form laddus. Let them cool before serving.
Ensure the flame is low while roasting the ingredients to prevent burning.
Use fresh and good-quality Gond (edible gum) for the best texture and taste.
