How to make Coconut Laddu
Preparation Steps
In a pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.
Add the desiccated coconut to the pan and roast it lightly for a few minutes until it is fragrant.
Pour in the condensed milk and mix well to combine with the coconut.
Add the cardamom powder and stir continuously until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, grease your hands with ghee and shape the mixture into small round balls (laddus).
Allow the laddus to cool completely before serving.
Tips & Tricks
You can add chopped nuts or dried fruits to the mixture for added texture and flavor.
Ensure the mixture is not too dry; it should be moist enough to hold its shape when formed into laddus.
