Q What is gond katira?

 Gond katira is a natural herb that is found in Indian kitchens. It is also known as tragacanth gum, and it naturally emanates in the form of twisted crystals.

Gond katira could be easily found in most Indian kitchens until a few decades ago. The present generation would have heard the name from their grandmothers in the passing, but would not really know much about it.
