Product Description
Edible Gum Powder (Gond Powder)
Edible gum powder, also called gond powder, is a fine powdered edible gum used mainly in traditional Indian sweets such as gond laddu and panjiri. It is sold ready ground, so there are no hard crystals to crush before you cook.
What Gond Powder Is Like
Gond powder is a dry, fine powder with very little taste of its own. It takes on the flavour of the ghee, jaggery, nuts and spices it is cooked with.
Whole gond comes as small hard crystals. Cooks usually fry these in ghee until they puff up, then crush them. The powder saves that step and is easier to measure by the spoonful.
Ways to Use Edible Gum Powder
Edible gum powder is most often used in winter sweets, where it is mixed in with flour, ghee, sugar or jaggery and chopped nuts. Common ideas include:
- Gond laddu with wheat flour, ghee, jaggery and dried fruit
- Panjiri, the crumbly spiced mix made with ghee and nuts
- Other homemade laddu and barfi-style sweets
- Warm milk-based drinks, stirred in slowly
Check your own family recipe for how much to use. Amounts vary from one dish to the next.
Tips for Cooking with Gond Powder
Gond powder mixes best when you add it gradually. Sprinkle it in a little at a time and keep stirring, because edible gum can form lumps if it is tipped in all at once.
For laddu and panjiri, mix it into the warm ghee and flour mixture while the mixture is still loose. It blends in more evenly than it does once the mixture has cooled and thickened.
Gond Powder FAQ
Is gond powder the same as gond katira?
No, they are different gums. Gond katira is usually soaked in water for cold summer drinks. Gond powder is mostly used in cooked winter sweets like laddu.
Can I add gond powder straight to liquid?
It is better to add it slowly while stirring. Adding it all at once can leave lumps that are hard to break up.
What is the difference between gond powder and gond crystals?
Gond powder is already ground, while crystals are small hard pieces that are normally fried and crushed first. The powder is quicker to use and easier to measure.
Add edible gum powder to your basket ready for your next batch of gond laddu or panjiri.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
