COCONUT LADOO
Enjoy these delightful Coconut Ladoos as a sweet treat during Diwali or share them with family and friends. The combination of coconut, condensed milk, and cardamom creates a perfect blend of flavours in every bite. Happy cooking and Happy Diwali!
Ingredients
2 cups grated coconut (fresh or desiccated)1 cup condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
Chopped nuts for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- If you are using fresh coconut, grate it finely. If using desiccated coconut, ensure it is unsweetened.
- In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee over medium heat.
- Add the grated coconut to the pan and roast it for 4-5 minutes on low to medium heat. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
- The coconut should turn slightly golden and release a nutty aroma. This step enhances the flavour of the ladoos.
- Pour the condensed milk into the roasted coconut and mix well.
- Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously to avoid sticking to the pan. The mixture will thicken as it cooks.
- Once the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan, add cardamom powder for flavour. Mix well.
- Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Grease your hands with a little ghee to prevent sticking.
- Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into round ladoos. If desired, press a chopped nut into the center of each ladoo for decoration.
- Repeat the process until all the mixture is used to make ladoos.
- Allow the Coconut Ladoos to cool completely before serving. They will firm up as they cool.
- Optionally, you can roll the ladoos in desiccated coconut for an extra layer of texture.
- Place the Coconut Ladoos in decorative cases or on a plate for a festive presentation.
