Ingredients

2 nos Coconut would make about 2 cups of freshly grated coconut
1 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder

Instructions

Add sugar and water to a pan and cook on a low flame.
Cook until the solution starts to thicken or until you get the one thread consistency.
Now add the grated coconut and cardamom powder to it. Stir well.
Keep stirring frequently until you get a thick and sticky mixture.
Turn off the flame and allow it to cool a bit.
While it's still a bit warm.
Take a spoonful from the mixture and shape it into round balls by pressing it between your palms.
If the mixture gets cold, then making the coconut ladoo is impossible.
In this case, return the pan or bowl on the fire and slightly warm the mixture and continue to make the ladoo.
So the coconut laddus are ready to be served.

Notes

I would recommend using freshly grated coconut for this recipe.

Desiccated coconuts or dry coconuts will not give a rich and moist taste. Instead of sugar, you can use condensed milk or jaggery for this recipe.

You can refrigerate these coconut ladoos for up to two weeks if stored in an airtight container. But you can't keep it for long outside, as they tend to get spoilt easily. So it is advisable to finish it off in a day or two.
