AWAFI MILL Gond Katira 500g - Tragacanth Gum - Natural Dried Gum

AWAFI MILL Gond Katira (Pure Edible Tragacanth Gum) is a traditional soak-to-bloom ingredient prized for its neutral taste and silky, cooling texture. Once hydrated, it becomes a spoonable jelly that slips into sharbats, falooda, lassis, lemonades, and fruit drinks, or brings light body to kheer/payasam, halwa, puddings, and laddoos. Because its flavor is subtle, Gond Katira takes on your chosen aromatics—rose, saffron, cardamom, and citrus—making it a versatile pantry staple for warm-weather beverages and celebratory sweets.

Step-by-Step Usage Instructions

Bloom (Base Prep): Rinse 2–3 tbsp Gond Katira → soak in 1–1½ cups cool water 8–12 hours (overnight) until fully expanded and gel-like → rinse again and drain.

Sharbat/Falooda: Add 2–3 tbsp bloomed jelly to 300 ml chilled rose/khus drink with basil seeds and vermicelli → top with ice and nuts; adjust sweetness.

Lassi/Lemonade: Whisk 1–2 tbsp jelly into sweet/salty lassi or lemon–mint sharbat → serve extra-cold for best mouthfeel.
