A Traditional Summer Favorite

Gond Katira has been used for generations in traditional South Asian food and drink preparations.

Its most interesting feature appears after soaking. The dry crystals absorb water and swell considerably, developing a soft, gel-like consistency.

This hydrated Gond Katira can then be added to refreshing drinks and recipes, making it especially popular during hot weather.

How to Soak Gond Katira

Gond Katira should generally be soaked before consumption.

1. Take a small amount of Gond Katira.
2. Rinse it to remove any unwanted particles.
3. Place it in a sufficiently large bowl or glass.
4. Add plenty of clean drinking water.
5. Leave it to soak until fully expanded and jelly-like.
6. Drain excess water if necessary.
7. Add the prepared Gond Katira to your preferred drink or recipe.
