How To Make Coconut Ladoo Without Condensed Milk
- Heat 2 tsp of ghee in a kadai.Add the dessicated coconut and roast for 2-3 minutes in low flame till u get a nice aroma.
- Now add milk and stir well till all the milk is absorbed by coconut.
- After the mixture thickens,add sugar and mix well.Sugar melts and the mixture becomes a semi solid paste.
- Keep mixing in medium flame till all the sugar is well combined with coconut and the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.Take a small piece and try to roll a ball.If u are able to do it,the mixture is ready.Add cardamom powder,mix it and switch off the flame.
- When the mixture becomes warm,grease ur hands with a drop of ghee and make balls. Immediately roll in the desiccated coconut.Else it wont stick.Arrange the ladoos in a plate.Stays good for 2-3 days when refrigerated.

Note
- If u want to make a quicker version,use condensed milk in place of milk and sugar.The ratio of dessicated coconut and condensed milk should be 1:1.
- Its better to use mature ones if u want to use fresh coconuts.scrape the white part & use it instead of desiccated coconut.In that case,fry coconut for more time till all the moisture completely goes off !
- Do not keep the mixture for long time in flame as it changes the color of balls.
- Also stay nearby and complete this sweet.U can finish it within 10 minutes.
- Initially the balls will be yellow in color.After u coat them in coconut,its color changes to half white.
