Coconut Laddoos

 

Ingredients:
300 grams dessicated coconut
1 can (14oz/396 g) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Few slivered almonds or pistachios for garnishing (optional)

Preparation:
Take a heavy-bottomed or a non-stick pan. Heat it over the medium flame.

Add butter and melt.

Add condensed milk, cardamom powder and dessicated coconut in the pan.

Stir the mixture over medium to low heat until it starts to thicken (it takes 5-10 minutes) and rolls easily into balls.

Turn off the flame. Cool the mixture and roll into balls.

Roll the balls in coconut powder to coat the surface.

Garnish with slivered almonds or pistachios and serve.
