Instructions
How to Make Coconut Ladoo Dough:
1) In a medium frying pan on low heat, add 1 cup of desiccated coconut and dry roast for 1-2 minutes.
PRO TIP: The coconut should not change color at all when you roast it.
2) After the coconut is roasted, add 1 cup milk powder, 3 tbsp Rooh Afza syrup, 1/2 cup condensed milk, and 1/4 cup water.
3) Cook this mixture on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.
4) The liquid should start to evaporate and the mixture will become thicker and start to pull away from the sides of the pan. The mixture is ready once it is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan - it will hold its shape and form a ball.
5) Remove from heat and let the mixture rest until it is cool.
Forming & Garnishing Coconut Ladoos:
6) Start by coating your hands with ghee/oil to avoid sticking.
7) Using a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon, scoop out 1 teaspoon of the ladoo dough and form into a ball by rolling in the palms of your hands.
8) Coat the ladoo in some desiccated coconut or crushed rose petals by rolling them on a plate.
9) Garnish with a pistachio.
PRO TIP: Store for up to 5 days at room temperature. Enjoy!
