List Of Ingredients: (Makes 12 pieces)
- Desiccated Coconut Powder- 2 cups
- Condensed milk (Milkmaid)-200 grams
- Desiccated Coconut powder-1/2 cup (For coating)
- Ghee / Oil-1 tsp
Steps To Prepare:
Step 1:
Take 2 cups of desiccated coconut powder in a non stick or heavy bottomed pan. Roast it on low-medium flame for 2-3 minutes till it starts dispersing rich coconut aroma and slightly changes in colour.
If you want to add nuts in your ladoos add them at this step & roast them with desiccated coconut.
Step 2:
Add condensed milk to it with constant stirring so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom and gets burnt.
Keep mixing it for 4 to 5 minutes till the mixture starts leaving the edges of the pan. Keep it aside for 2 minutes so that mixture becomes warm and easy to handle. Don’t let the mixture cool down completely, start making balls when it is still warm.
Step 3:
Rub a little bit of desi ghee or oil on your palms. Take spoonfuls of mixture and start shaping them into balls one by one.
Roll these balls in the remaining half cup of desiccated coconut powder.
Delicious Coconut Ladoos are ready!! You can decorate them with a raisin or almond sliver on top.
Bon Appetit!!
