Milkmaid Coconut Ladoo Recipe for Toddlers
Ingredients:
200 gm Milkmaid Condensed Milk
1 3/4 cup Grated coconut
1/2 tsp Cardamom powder
Almond slivers for garnishing
1/4 cup Dessicated coconut for rolling
Method:
1. To begin making the milkmaid coconut ladoo recipe, take a heavy-bottomed pan and combine the condensed milk and grated coconut in it. Stir the mixture continuously over low heat until it starts to thicken.
2. Next, add a sprinkle of cardamom powder to the mixture in the pan. Continue stirring the mixture over low heat until it reaches a consistency where it starts to leave the sides of the pan. This indicates that the mixture has thickened and is ready for the next step.
3. Transfer the thickened mixture from the pan to a separate bowl and allow it to cool down. Once it has reached a comfortable temperature for handling, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round ladoos. If you find that the mixture is still too runny and not forming a dough-like consistency, you can heat it again on low flame until it thickens to the desired texture.
4. Roll the ladoos in grated coconut till evenly coated. Garnish with almond silvers.
Your coconut ladoos are ready to be devoured!
