Coconut Laddoo, Coconut Ladoo
by Tarla Dalal
When the festival season arrives, it is time to brush up our laddoo making skills and to expand our choice of laddoos because from Ganpati to Diwali, laddoo is a favourite offering to God.
And laddoos like this Coconut Laddoo are also easy to make. Immensely rich and tasty, this Coconut Laddoo has a luxuriant milky flavour and an exciting mouth-feel that combines the crunch of coconuts and nuts with the creaminess of condensed milk.
Keep aside some desiccated coconut to coat the laddoos, as that gives a very appetizing appearance and taste.
Also do try other coconut based mithais like Coconut Barfi or Coconut Sheera .
