Once mildly roasted, add 1/4 cup dry shredded coconut (optional) and 2 tbsp poppy seeds (khas khas).
Mix well, turn off heat, and let the mixture cool.
Coarsely chop the nut mixture (pulse in a mixer if preferred).
Mix the chopped nuts into the gond and add 2 tbsp dried ginger powder, 1 tsp elaichi powder, 1/2 tsp nutmeg (jaifal) powder. You may also add ganthoda (peeprimul) powder.
Combine everything well and keep aside.
