Coconut Laddoo

When the festival season arrives, it is time to brush up our laddoo making skills and to expand our choice of laddoos because from Ganpati to Diwali, laddoo is a favourite offering to God. And laddoos like this Coconut Laddoo are also easy to make. Immensely rich and tasty, this Coconut Laddoo has a luxuriant milky flavour and an exciting mouth-feel that combines the crunch of coconuts and nuts with the creaminess of condensed milk. Keep aside some desiccated coconut to coat the laddoos, as that gives a very appetizing appearance and taste.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes.
Cooking Time: 11 minutes.
Makes 14 laddoos.

2 cups freshly grated coconut
1 tbsp melted ghee
½ cup condensed milk
2 tbsp finely chopped mixed nuts
A pinch saffron (kesar) strands
1 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
Desiccated coconut for rolling

1. Heat the ghee in a broad non-stick pan and add the coconut and sauté on medium flame for 6 to 7 minutes or till it turns light brown in colour.
2. Add the condensed milk, mixed nuts, saffron strands and cardamom powder, mix well and cook on medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes, while stirring continuously.
3. When the mixture leaves sides off the pan switch off the gas and transfer the mixture onto a plate and keep aside to cool 30 minutes.
4. Once cooled, divide the mixture into 14 equal portions and roll each portion into a round laddoo.
5. Roll each laddoo in the desiccated coconut till they are evenly coated from all the sides.
Serve or store in an air-tight container. Use as required.

Handy Tip:
These laddoo stay fresh in an air-tight container for a week at room temperature.
