coconut ladoo recipe | nariyal ladoo recipe | coconut laddu recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. basically a round or ball shaped indian sweet or fudge prepared from fresh or desiccated coconut powder with milk and sugar acting for moist and sweetness. there are several versions to nariyal ladoo and it can be prepared with milkmaid, koya and even with simple sugar syrup. however most common is milk and sugar combination which is used in this recipe.
as mentioned earlier, there are several ways this easy coconut ladoo can be prepared. apart from this recipe, the other most common way it is prepared is with milkmaid or with condensed milk. more frequently, even i prepare it with same way and the ingredients just reduces to 2 with no additional sugar required. i would heavily recommend this step if you need to cut down your recipe time drastically. further, nariyal ladoo recipe can also use evaporated milk as an alternative to condensed milk. this would help you to control the sugar content and can be added as per the preference.
furthermore, some important and critical tips and recommendations for a moist and juicy coconut ladoo recipe. firstly, i have desiccated coconut to prepare this ladoo, however fresh grated coconut can also be used. if fresh coconut is used, make sure to dry roast them before adding milk. secondly, i highly recommend to prepare the ladoo’s in low flame as the milk and coconut might burn on high flame. lastly, in the place of sugar, jaggery or brown sugar can also be used. with jaggery the colour of coconut laddu would be brown in colour though.
