About Coconut Ladoo
This ladoo is so simple to make, just take few minutes to whip up. But the taste is just phenomenol. The condensed milk makes it just wow.

Coconut Ladoo Ingredients
Coconut
Nariyal ke laddu or coconut ladoo can be made with fresh or desiccated coconut. If using fresh coconut, dry roast in a pan till the moisture dries up and then proceed to extend their shelf life.
Milkmaid
Basic coconut ladoo recipe is made with only milkmaid for rich milky taste. You can opt to add little sugar along with milkmaid.
Nuts
I used nuts like cashews, almonds or pistachios which I chopped finely using a small food processor.
Ghee
Little ghee makes the ladoo non sticky and adds flavour. Apply ghee on your hands to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands when rolling.
