๐ฉ๐ณ How to Make Coconut Ladoo
Step 1: Roast the Coconut
Heat a pan and add 1 tablespoon ghee.
Add grated coconut and roast lightly on low flame for 2–3 minutes until you get a nice aroma. (Do not over-roast).
Step 2: Add Sweetness
Add condensed milk (or sugar) to the roasted coconut.
Mix well and cook on low-medium flame. Stir continuously to avoid sticking.

Cook until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
Step 4: Shape the Ladoos
Turn off the flame and let the mixture cool slightly.
Grease your palms with ghee, take small portions, and roll them into round ladoos.
Roll each ladoo in dry coconut powder for a beautiful coating.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Garnish with chopped dry fruits on top.
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
