It is very easy to prepare, first of all heat ghee well and add edible gum to it and fry it. When the gum swells, take it out and crush it. Then fry dry fruits in it also. After this, add wheat flour to the same ghee and fry it on low flame. When the flour becomes golden and fragrant, add dry fruits like almonds, cashews, pistachios and walnuts to it. Now add gum back into it and finally add jaggery and mix well.
This is how the winter power pack Gundpak is prepared which is nutritious, tasty and full of health.
