Coconut ladoos are a rich, sweet dessert-snack. This is made for many festive occasions
Ingredients
1-1/4
cup coconut freshly grated or frozen, available in Indian grocery
stores, 3 cups milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
How to make
Boil
the milk and coconut in heavy bottom pan over medium high heat (I am
using heavy non stick pan), do stir occasionally.After milk comes to
boil reduce the heat to medium and cook for 25-30 minutes, until all the
moisture is absorbed and coconut is thick and creamy consistency.
Add
sugar and cardamom to the coconut and cook for 7-8 minutes stir
continuously, until all the moisture is absorbed. Coconut mix will be
thick and crumbly in consistency. Turn off the heat.
Spread the coconut mix on the plate and let it cool of to the room temperature.
To
make the ladoos, take about 2 tablespoons of coconut mixture into your
palm. Gently press to form a smooth, round ball. Adjust the size of
ladoo as you prefer.
Ladoos are ready to be served; you can refrigerate them for about two weeks.
