Notes

  1. Instead of using milk, malai/milk cream too can be added a little to give a more rich taste to the ladoos...
  2. One can make coconut powder at home, dry roast it slightly and store it in air tight containers and this stored powdered can be used when required to make these ladoos...
  3. Do not brown the coconut powder while roasting as the taste of the ladoos totally changes...Dry roast only for 2-3 minutes on low flame only to remove the raw smell from the fresh coconut powder.
