Ingredients
- 1 cup (125g) milk powder

- ½ cup (50g) desiccated coconut
- ¼ cup (50g) powdered sugar

- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder

Main Equipments Used
- Tefal Non-Stick set of 5: https://amzn.to/2Y7mZuX
- Induction cooktop – I use Morphy Richards 1600 Watt Cooktop. You can find it on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2Jkn4px
Steps In Making
- Place a pan over medium flame and add ghee in it. Once the ghee melts, add milk and let it simmer till the milk becomes hot.
- Now add the milk powder in 3 batches while stirring it continuously, so it doesn’t form lumps or stick to the pan.
- After a minute the mixture will begin to thicken, at this point add the powdered sugar and cardamom powder and cook for a minute.
- Lastly add the dried desiccated coconut and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture stops sticking to the pan and forms a ball like structure. Add a teaspoon of ghee, if needed for a soft texture.
- There should be some moisture still left in the coconut. Don’t cook further, else the mixture will become dry and the laddos will turn out hard and crumbly.
- To check if it’s done, take some coconut ladoo mixture in your hand and if it forms into a ball-like structure then switch off the flame and let it cool for sometime.
- Now take some mixture in your hand and roll them into ladoo’s.
- Lastly coat them in dry desiccated coconut.
- Cool them completely and store them in an airtight container for upto 10 days.
Recipe Notes
- You can use finely grated fresh coconut too.
- Can use low fat or full fat milk.
- Never over cook the mixture else it will cerumble and you wont be able to form the ladoo’s.
- While forming the ladoo’s if the mixture has become dry then add 2-3 tablespoons of warm milk and combine together.
