How to make coconut ladoo with condensed milk
- Add half tin or ½ cup plus 2 tbsp or about 200 grams of condensed milk to a heavy bottom or non stick pan.
- Add desiccated coconut to suit your taste:If you have a sweet tooth you can use 1 ½ cups or around 130 grams.If you like moderately sweet then 1 ¾ cups works good.If you like mildly sweet you can use 2 cups equal to 175 grams. It works with all the above mentioned quantities. This time I added about 2 cups to make them mildly sweet since I made many other desserts. With 2 cups they have a dominating taste of coconut and less of the condensed milk. So judge and use accordingly.
- Mix it well. Begin to cook on a low flame stirring frequently.
- If you are using 2 cups, the texture remains same. Cook until the mix turns warm. If you are using lesser than 2 cups, the mixture turns slightly gooey. Continue to cook until it becomes a thick mass. Switch off the stove.
- Add cardamom powder and some dry roasted nuts. I had these roasted pistachios which i chopped and used.
- When the mixture is still hot, take small portions and roll to balls.
- Add some desiccated coconut to a plate and roll them.
- You can also garnish them with more nuts. Store coconut ladoo in a air tight jar and refrigerate. Use within 3 to 4 days. Related Recipes
