Coconut Ladoo Recipe | Nariyal Ke Laddu | No Sugar Coconut Laddu with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Festival season is around the corner and everyone is looking for something easy and simple dessert recipes to celebrate. There are various Indian sweets, but typically these are either rich in sugar or may be complicated to prepare and serve. Yet there are few healthy Indian dessert recipes and coconut ladoo or nariyal ke laddu is one such easy and simple sweet recipe.
I had posted this nariyal ke laddu recipe long back. Perhaps it was one of my first laddo recipes posted after I started this blog. Previously I had used the combination of sugar and milkmaid to shape and taste the laddo. It tastes great with this combination, but it may not be from a health perspective. Milkmaid or condensed milk contains a good amount of calories that you find good to taste, but not an option for weight watchers. Therefore, I recreated it with many healthy and simple ingredients. Basically, I have combined the jaggery, dry fruits and coconut grate, thus making it similar to an energy bar. You may follow the same method with sugar which should give a traditional white coloured ladoo. But I am confident that, once you try this, you may never go to the sugar or white coloured coconut laddu.
