Instructions:
- Prepare Coconut Mixture:
- In a non-stick pan, heat grated coconut over medium-low heat. If you're using desiccated coconut, you can add a tablespoon of milk to moisten it slightly.
- Stir the coconut continuously for a few minutes until it becomes aromatic and slightly toasted. This step helps enhance the flavor of the coconut.
- Add Condensed Milk:
- Cook the Mixture:
- If using ground cardamom, add it to the coconut mixture and mix well. Cardamom adds a wonderful aroma and flavor to the ladoo.
- Once the coconut mixture is cooked and thickened, remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

- Shape into Ladoo:
- Grease your hands with a little ghee or oil to prevent sticking. Take small portions of the coconut mixture and roll them into round balls (ladoo) between your palms.
- Repeat the process until all the mixture is used up.
- If desired, you can garnish the coconut ladoo with chopped nuts such as almonds, cashews, or pistachios. Simply press the chopped nuts onto the surface of the ladoo while they're still soft.
- Your coconut ladoo are ready to be enjoyed! You can serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
These coconut ladoo are a delightful treat for festivals, celebrations, or as a sweet indulgence any time of the year.
