Coconut Ladoo
Coconut Ladoo is a simple homemade sweet made with fresh coconut, milk, milk powder, sugar and cardamom powder. The ingredients are cooked together until the mixture thickens and comes together, making it easy to shape into soft, flavourful ladoos. Fresh coconut gives the ladoos a naturally rich texture, while cardamom adds a gentle aroma. These ladoos are perfect for festive occasions, celebrations or when you want to prepare a quick Indian sweet at home.
