Homemade Coconut Round dessert or laddoos are my all time favourite dessert. I can finish 20 to 30 of them in a matter of two days. No seriously!
Since I am out of patience but had the craving.. here is the instant version. No. Not as good as the original. But perfect and delicious for sudden sweet cravings…if you know what I mean.
So, take two cup of dessicated coconut (readily available in food outlets)
Dessicated coconut is crisp, snow white in colour and has a sweet pleasant and fresh taste of the nut. It is made from fresh coconuts which are harvested at just the right time to ensure the best flavor. The coconut is then dried to the perfect moisture content to ensure long shelf life, best flavor and mouth feel. is produced from matured coconuts and the white coconut meat is granulated into the various desired cuts and is available as Macaroon, Medium, Flakes, Shreds, Chips, or as Coconut Flour. It’s also available either as Sweetened, Toasted, or Toasted Sweetened. It can be used as a substitute to grated fresh coconut in household preparations. It is a very important coconut kernel based product having very good demand all over the world in the confectionery and allied food industries (Source:tarladalal.com)
Toast them well in a deep bottomed pan by continuously stirring for a minute.
Add one cup of sugar granules and stir well. CONTINUOUSLY!
The aroma now will fill your kitchen and senses completely. But don’t get all lost…Stir as you watch these two ingredients turn golden brown and gooey…
Once golden brown, moist and not burnt! add one cup of condescend milk goodness to it and stir/mix for another minute.
Remove from the gastop/flame.
Spread it in a plate carefully. Once slightly warm cut into square or triangular pieces….
Just in case you do not finish them all up, store them in an air tight container for upto a week or more..
