How to Make Coconut Ladoo
Step 1: Combine Ingredients
Set aside 1 cup of grated coconut for coating later. In a thick-bottomed pan, combine condensed milk, milk powder, and the remaining grated coconut. Mix well and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook Until the Mixture Thickens
Reduce heat to low and cook until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan -about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Step 3: Shape the Ladoos
Grease hands lightly with ghee. Take small portions and roll into round ladoos. Coat with reserved grated coconut. Your Coconut Ladoos are ready to serve!
