This version of coconut ladoo takes really less time as well as ingredients.
By using dry coconut flakes, some milk powder and almost zero amount of ghee you too can achieve mithai-wala style coconut ladoo that tastes of ghee and khoya!
Moreover, these ladoos even after sitting in room temperature for 2-3 days do not go dry and hard. They are as soft as minutes after preparation. And, if you store them in fridge, still they retain a lot of its moisture and are soft.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups desiccated coconut (get on Amazon)
- 1 + 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup milk powder (get on Amazon)
- 1 tbsp. ghee
- 1 tsp. cardamom powder
- 10-15 small golden raisins
Method:
Soak raisins in water.
Keep aside.
In a kadhai/wok, add ghee and 3 cups of coconut.
On low heat, roast coconut till the color changes from white to off-white with few brown bits.
Add milk to hydrate the coconut.
Mix well.
Add sugar.
Mix till sugar melts and the coconut mixture begins to form one big lump.
Add milk powder, cardamom powder and raisins.
Press and stir till the mixture resembles soft dough.
Switch off the heat.
Allow the mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Begin forming coconut ladoo in the size of your choice.
In a plate spread the remaining 1 cup of coconut.
Roll each ladoo in it for forming a thin coating of dry coconut all around.
This is an optional step but recommended. Dry coconut coating on ladoo prevents the ladoos from stick to each other.
Best served in room temperature.
