This gelatinous gum, prized for its texture when soaked, is often used in cooling summertime drinks. Many people, however, are unsure of how else to use it beyond the typical sharbat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The good news is that gond katira is surprisingly versatile. Once soaked well, they are easy to add to drinks, breakfasts, desserts, and even light snacks. If you have always wanted to include this in your routines, here are seven easy ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Before You Start: Soak It The Right Way<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dry gond katira should not usually be eaten directly. To use it:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Measure out a small portion of gond katira.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Immerse it in water overnight, or for several hours.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You will see that when it swells up, it becomes soft and has a gel-like texture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is then necessary to remove any excess water before using it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once it has been soaked, you can add it to many types of recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1.
