Gudhpak is a dense, nutritious sweet made from edible gum (gond), ghee, jaggery, and dry fruits. It’s traditionally prepared to boost strength and warmth, especially during winter or postpartum recovery. The texture is chewy and rich, with a nutty aroma from roasted seeds and raisins.
You can enjoy gudhpak in many ways:
- Eat a small piece in the morning for energy and digestion support
- Serve during Maghe Sankranti or offer to new mothers as part of recovery diet
- Store in a cool, dry place and consume within 3–4 weeks for best freshness
