Ingredients
  • 1 cup Powdered Coconut
  • 0.5 cup Condensed milk
Instructions
  1. Heat a pan and add one cup of powdered coconut. Roast them in medium flame for 2 minutes, until the raw smell of it disappears.
  2. Add the half cup of condensed milk to it. Quickly stir them keeping the flame in low. Add 1/2 tsp of ghee if required.
  3. Keep stirring for 2 – 3 mins until they come together and do not stick to the pan. Switch off the flame and sprinkle a few drops of rosewater if desired. (I did not add rosewater as I wanted to feel the coconut flavor).
  4. After a minute, grease your palms with the half spoon of ghee and roll them to small ladoos /balls. Serve and enjoy this soft, chewy ladoos. They stay fresh for 2-3 days if refrigerated.
Recipe Notes

  • If you are using fresh coconut, then grate them and finely powder them in a mixer without water. Heat a pan in low flame and roast the coconut until the moisture in them goes away. Make sure you do this in low flame to avoid burning of coconut.
  • Adding cardamom or rose water is entirely your discretion. I do not add them to feel the real flavors of coconut.
