NARIYAL LADDOO / COCONUT LADDOO

These delectable white laddoos have the perfectly nutty aroma of roasted coconut. While you’ll agree that the highlight of this dish is how juicy and succulent they are in every bite.  I suggest that you can make the experience even more fun by getting your kids in the kitchen to help roll laddoos of all shapes and sizes with the coated mixture. These are melt in the mouth coconut laddoos. I always prepare them at Rakhsa Bandhan. These are made with just three ingredients- desiccated coconut, milk and sugar and one which does not take a lot of time to make. If you found this post useful, I would really love it if you leave a comment in the comment box below. Thank you.

INGREDIENTS:

 2 Desiccated Coconuts

 1 ½ Cup Sugar

1 litre Milk

A pinch of Cardamom Powder

1 teaspoon Clarified Butter / Ghee [optional]

METHOD:
STEP 1 – Heat a non-stick pan on low heat.

STEP 2 – Pour all the ingredients in it and mix well.

STEP 3 – Cook it on low flame stirring continuously till all the milk is absorbed. Take care that the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

STEP 4 – Cook it further till the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan. [approx. 50-60 minutes]. Once it starts leaving the sides, this is the sign of it being ready. Take off the heat.

STEP 5 – Remove the mixture in another bowl. Add cardamom powder, mix it and cool it.[ the mixture becomes sticky and you are able to make balls out of it.]

STEP 6 – Once it cool slightly,

roll into laddoos with oiled hands.

STEP 7 – Repeat the same and make laddoos with the rest mixture

and your coconut laddoos are ready to serve.

Prepare these melt in mouth laddoos on festivals and serve them to your family and friends and enjoy.

NOTE: You can roll the ready laddoos in dry desiccated coconut too.

You can use condensed milk also instead of milk. In that case, you can avoid sugar.

Size depends upon you.
