Prepare the Coconut
Begin by preheating a thick-bottomed pan over medium heat. Dry roast the desiccated coconut for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes fragrant. Be sure to keep an eye on it to avoid any burning or browning. Once roasted, remove from the heat and set it aside. -
-
Combine Mango and Coconut
In the same pan, add the mango pulp (puree) to the roasted coconut. Stir well to combine the two ingredients, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well-mixed. -
Add Condensed Milk and Flavoring
Now, add the condensed milk, cardamom powder, and mixed nuts to the mango-coconut mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly. At this point, the mixture will begin to form a gooey consistency. Keep stirring to prevent it from sticking to the bottom or burning. -
Cook Until Doughy
Continue stirring and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and reaches a dough-like consistency. You should be able to press the mixture together without it being overly sticky. Once it’s ready, remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. -
Form the Ladoos
Once the mixture has cooled enough to handle, take small portions and roll them into round balls between your palms. After shaping the ladoos, roll them in extra desiccated coconut to coat the outside. You can also garnish them with a few more mixed nuts for an extra touch of flavor and texture. -
Serve
Your Mango Ladoo is now ready to serve! These delectable ladoos are the perfect sweet treat to enjoy after a festive meal. Serve them alongside classic dishes like Gujarati Kadhi, Paneer Butter Masala, Batata Pulao, and Phulka for an unforgettable meal.
