Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened khoya tightly packed
  • 1/3 cup desiccated coconut*
  • 2 tablespoon desiccated coconut* for rolling
  • 3/4 cup jaggery
  • 1/3 cup water
  • a pinch cardamom powder optional - I didn’t add.

*You can replace desiccated coconut with fresh coconut too

    Instructions

    • Soak jaggery in warm water (till immersing level), crush it well.
    • Then heat it up until it is slightly thick (no string consistency needs to be checked). Cool down, then strain and keep aside.
    • Take the jaggery syrup in a pan and heat it up. Cook till it bubbles up and is slightly thick like honey in consistency.
    • At this stage add khoya. Keep mixing till it becomes a gooey mass and starts bubbling and gets thick. When it starts to thicken, add dessicated coconut.
    • Keep mixing till all the moisture is absorbed, the mixture will become thick. At this stage add cardamom powder and switch off.
    • Let it cool down for few mins. When its still warm, make small ladoos.
    • Roll the ladoos in desiccated coconut.
    • Place them in mini cupcake liners and let it to set.
    • Khoya Coconut Ladoo keeps well for 3 days in room temperature itself!

    Notes

    • If you are using fresh coconut then roast the coconut till golden then add condensed milk.
    • Do not overcook just switch off once everything comes together. Else the ladoos will turn hard and lose melt in the mouth texture.
    • The ladoo keeps well for at least 3 days in room temperature. May be after that you can refrigerate it.
    • I reserved around 1/4 cup of the cooked khoya coconut mixture to eaten as such so didn't make ladoos so got 10 ladoos.
    • You can add any nuts and dry fruits of your choice.
