Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 2 cups freshly grated coconut
- 1/2 cup dried powdered coconut
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tin Milkmaid / condensed milk
- Sugar as needed
Steps
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add ghee & then fresh coconut gratings. Roast for a minute.
- Add Milk maid.
- Cook over low flame mixing it continuously for about 4-5 minutes. The coconut cooks in the condensed milk.

- Apply ghee on your palm & shape the mixture into small laddus.
- In a plate or any other flat base, add dried coconut & roll each laddu in it, so that the dry powder coats well onto the laddu.
- Finished.
Tips
- Garnish with roasted almonds or cashew nuts.
- Colored coconut bits can be sprinkled over the Laddus.
Warnings
- While adding the condensed milk, make sure to stir continuously else the mixture will get burnt at the bottom. Hence add the condensed milk in small quantities.
