Ingredients
Scale
1 cup desiccated coconut (plus extra for coating)
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup of Regular Milk
1/4 tsp cardamom powder (elaichi)
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick pan and dry roast 1 cup desiccated coconut, over low flame for 1–2 minutes. Keep stirring until the flour is light golden and smells fragrant.
- Add 1/4 cup regular milk and cook it on low heat. Cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes or until the coconut has absorbed the milk and it appears to be slightly dry.
- Next, add 1/2 cup of condensed milk. Place the mixture on medium heat, stirring for 5–6 minutes. It will form together very much like a biscuit dough.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for another 3–5 minutes or until the mixture thickens and starts leaving sides of the pan.
- Sprinkle cardamom powder to the mixture.
- Let it cool slightly. Grease your hands with butter and shape into 12 same sized balls.
- Working quickly, roll each filled ladoo in some extra desiccated coconut.
