Cuisine: Indian
Course: Snack
Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Condensed Milk
- 1 cup Dessicated Coconut, plus extra for rolling
- 1 tablespoon Rose Water (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Ground Pistachios
- Ghee (to grease palms when rolling ladoos)
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Instructions:
-
Start by grinding the pistachios into a fine powder and set them aside for later use.
-
In a non-stick pan, add the condensed milk and desiccated coconut. Set the heat to low and cook, stirring continuously.
-
After about 5 minutes, or sooner depending on the heat, the mixture will begin to thicken, resembling a dough-like consistency. If you’re using rose water, now is the time to add it.
-
Once the mixture has reached a dough-like consistency, take it off the heat and let it cool slightly to make it easier to handle with your hands.
-
Grease your palms with ghee or butter. Take a lemon-sized portion of the coconut dough and press it into a rough round shape.
-
Gently flatten the dough ball and make a small depression in the center using your thumb. Add a teaspoon of the ground pistachios into the center.
-
Roll the ladoo again, carefully sealing the pistachio inside the coconut dough, and shape it into a perfect round.
-
Roll the ladoo in additional desiccated coconut and set it aside. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
-
Serve the Coconut Ladoo Stuffed with Pistachios immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Serving Suggestion:
These ladoos make a wonderful treat when served alongside Sabudana Khatti Meethi Namkeen during the festive season, or as a delightful evening snack paired with Masala Chai.
