The core ingredients of laddu are chickpea flour, semolina, and coconut powder.

How to make Coconut Laddu
- First of all, you need to grate all your coconuts well and for this, you can use a food processor or mixer grinder or regular Kaddukas.
- Now take out a pan heat the ghee in it for a while.
- Since condensed milk is a dry milk, therefore, it gets burn very easily so you have to make sure that milk doesn’t burn else coconut laddu will taste little bitter.
- Once condensed milk gets heated and mixes well with the ghee keep it on stir till it starts secreting ghee and becomes little thick.
- Now add half of grated Coconut to this and sugar as per your taste and at last the remaining coconut.
- Mix well the mixture and roast it well.
- Now add cardamom and dry fruits to the mixture and again mesh it well and roast it for some time again too.
- Turn off the flame once you find that the mixture is perfect to tie laddu.
- Put down the pan on your platform and start making small balls of the mixture.
- Put these balls in cool and dry place so that your batter gets cool.
- Your laddu is now ready to eat.
- Serve them to your guest, friends or family with tea or after the meal as a dessert.
NOTE: You will get grated coconut in the market for sure but make sure that the powder will not be capable of making fine laddu because it’s so dry in touch and due to the presence of this powder your laddu will not be tied properly. Therefore grate coconuts at home with the help of either food processor or mixer grinder or with any grating device.
Once the ghee gets heated well add your condensed milk to it slowly-slowly in such order that neither lumps get form nor the milk gets burn.
