Coconut laddus, a very simple n easy sweet...these laddus are prepared with condensed milk n dessicated coconut, its really a delicious sweets..can prepare within half an hour..they ressembles like Coconut Burfi..


1no Sweetened condensed milk (small can)
2 1/2cup Dessicated coconut flakes
2tsp Cardamom powder
2tsp Ghee
1pinch Food colour
1/2cup Water

Take a heavy bottomed kadai r pan..pour the condensed milk..keep the flame in simmer..meanwhile wash the can n use it to measure the dessicated coconut flakes, add half cup of water with the condensed milk n heat it..once they start boil, add 2 cups of dessicated coconut flakes(leave the half cup dessicated coconut flakes for rolling the laddus), cardamom powder n stir them well..

Add a tsp of water to the food colour n add it to the coconut mix..add the ghee n stir for a while..they will turn as a dough n get off from the bottom of the pan..put off the stove..
Take a small quantity of the dough n make them as small balls, roll them with the rest of the dessicated coconut..store them in a air tightened box..can keep them in room temperature for 2 to 3 days...

    @ Reddy, since the coconut used in this recipe goes for dessicated coconut, there is no need to fry them, also dessicated coconut tends to burn if u roast them..hope this helps..

    I used orange food colour, you can even skip it and make pure white laddoos.

    Hi Priya,
    Thanks for posting this lovely coconut laddoo recipe.

    I tried it yesterday and it came out real yummy!

    Some points:
    The laddoos came out nice and round, but were soft to the touch and eat - is that ok?

    Or should they be hard like Besan laddoo or Rava laddoo?



    - I used Amul Mithai mate (I think this is less condensed than Nestlé) with half the tin and other ingredients proportionately.

    Do you think that made a difference to the "softness"?


    thanks,
    Hasita

    Thanks for trying Hasita, these laddoos wont get hard like besan or rava laddoos,,they will always a soft inner even after many days,but they wont be soft while touching, this is may be coz of the condensed milk you used for, may be this make the difference.Hope i cleared your doubt.
