Ingredients-
- Grated/Desiccated Coconut- 2 cups
- Grated jaggery/Gudd- 1 cup
- Cardamom/Elaichi powder- 1/2 tbsp
- Dry fruits- 1/2 cup (As per your choice/availability)
- Kevda water/Rose water- 1 tbsp
- Desi ghee/Ghee- for greasing
Method-
- Dry roast grated/desiccated coconut on medium low flame in a pan while stirring continuously.
- Add grated jaggery/gudd and stir to mix everything. Cook till moisture evaporates and mixture leaves pan smoothly for about 6 to 7 minutes (do not cook it for much longer otherwise ladoos will become hard).
- Add cardamom powder, dry fruits and kevda water (if using) and mix it well.
- Let the mixture cool down completely before following the next step.
- Rub little bit of ghee in your palms, take small sized portions from the mixture and make the ladoos. Keep them on a greased plate.
- Follow the same process with rest of the mixture quickly before it dries up.
- Ladoos are ready to be eaten. Enjoy!!
Notes:
* Store the ladoos in an air-tight container in refrigerator.
* You can also use Sugar/Condensed milk inspite of using jaggery.
