Notes

  • Make sure to slightly toast the coconut. You don't want to change the color of coconut or over toast it.
  • Keep the heat on low while toasting the coconut.
  • Stuffing the coconut ladoo is optional, you can totally skip it.
  • I have used half can of condensed milk as that was enough for my preferred sweetness.
  • If you like a sweeter taste you can add more or less condensed milk.
  • While making ladoo if the mixture seems dry add a tablespoon or more of condensed milk.
  • If the coconut mixture seemed too wet add a few tablespoons of dessicated coconut.
  • Always apply ghee or oil to your hands before shaping the ladoo.
  • You can make this ladoo vegan by using coconut condensed milk.
  • For stuffing you can fill the ladoo with dates paste, chocolate, dulce de leche, rose petals, or anything you prefer.
  • To coat the ladoos you can use slightly golden coconut flakes, pistachio powder, sesame seeds, or crushed rose petals.
