- 1 teaspoon ghee
- 1 cup full cream milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed pan/kadhai, heat ghee and let it melt.
- Once ghee starts melted, add desiccated coconut. Stir well on low heat for 1-2 minutes.
- After 2 minutes, add milk at room temperature, mix well and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes. Keep stirring continuously.
- After 3 minutes, add sugar, cardamom powder.
- Continue stirring so that the mixture combines well.
- Cook the mixture on medium heat for 4-5 more minutes once the sugar starts to melt.
- Once the mixture become dry, turn off the heat and set the mixture to cool down.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Once the mixture is a little bit cool. Make ladoo balls by start binding the small portion of the the mixture in between your palms and then roll it into desiccated coconut and roll again gently in palms to remove excess coconut powder.
- Prepare the same ladoo balls in equal size.
- Now store it in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set it completely.
Notes
- Always cook the coconut mixture on the lowest flame, otherwise the coconut will burn and may stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Make sure; use fresh desiccated coconut because if you use old, it gives a bitter taste to the ladoos.
- For vegan and dairy-free versions, substitute the condensed milk with coconut milk or almond milk, and instead of ghee, use vegetable or coconut oil.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar as you desired.
