Homemade Delicious Coconut laddu #05 @ festival food <3 <3

One of the Indian sweets recipes that can very easily be made for any festival. These can be made using fresh coconut or desiccated coconut, with sugar or jiggery to suit ones taste. I made these with desiccated coconut, sugar and milk . But they can be made using fresh coconut or frozen coconut as well.

Coconut laddu made using desiccated coconut & condensed milk. Another one is this coconut laddu with jaggery.If using fresh or frozen coconut, the amount of milk used in the recipe is either scaled down to half or the milk is simmered till it reduces to half the quantity and then the coconut and sugar are added.

Step by step coconut laddu recipe with condensed milk.

1.Heat 1 tsp ghee in a frying pan or kadai. You can also use coconut oil.

2.Add 1.5 cups tightly packed grated coconut.

3.Stir and saute the coconut on a low flame for 3 to 4 minutes. The sauteing is to just get rid of some moisture. Don’t brown them. If using desiccated coconut, then no need to saute it in ghee. Just mix the desiccated coconut with condensed milk and heat the mixture. If using frozen coconut, then let it come at room temperature before you begin to saute it.

4.Now add ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk.

5.Add ½ tsp cardamom powder.

6.Stir very well and cook this mixture on a low flame.

7.When you see that the mixture has begun to thicken, then keep stirring regularly.

8.When the mixture begins to leave the sides of the pan and when you see some coconut fat at the sides, switch off the flame.

9.Pour the coconut laddu mixture in another bowl or pan. Allow it to cool.

10.When the mixture has cooled completely, pinch small to medium balls from the mixture and form ladoos. Apply some ghee on your palms when shaping the coconut laddus. In case the mixture is loose and you cannot make laddus, then put it back on the pan and heat for a few more minutes.

11.Roll the laddus in desiccated coconut or in fresh coconut evenly.

12.You can also make all the coconut laddus at once and then roll in the desiccated coconut.
