kobbari laddu recipe | coconut jaggery ladoo | kobbari undalu | kobbari louz with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple flavoured laddu recipe made with moist coconut and jaggery. these laddu’s are super-rich, moist, tasty and more importantly an ideal dessert recipe made for various occasions and festivals. moreover, it is an ideal sweet recipe to be shared with friends and family as it made without sugar.
as i mentioned earlier, this is a karnataka based or kannada cuisine sweet recipe. yet it is popular with other south indian states for its obvious reasons. i have already shared the north indian counterpart popularly known as nariyal ladoo. the main difference between these 2 is the colour and also the sweetness source. in the north indian variation, i have used sugar and milk for the sweetness and moist. whereas in this recipe post, i have used jaggery which not only makes it a healthy option but also gives distinctive colour. i personally like the combination of moist coconut and jaggery which is also known as poornam or hoorna. i bet there are many who personally like this combination.
anyway, i would like to mention some tips, suggestions and variations to kobbari laddu recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have used store-bought desiccated coconut as i do not have access to the fresh ones. having said that i would heavily recommend using freshly grated coconut if you have an option. secondly, due to the combination of coconut and jaggery, it makes the ladoo moist and eventually reduces the shelf life. hence make this sweet in small batches or preferably a fixed known number, so that it does not get spoil. lastly, as an experiment, you can make this laddo even better by adding dry fruits and nuts for better taste.
finally, i request you to check my other indian sweet recipes collection with this post of coconut jaggery ladoo. it mainly includes recipes variations like, badam ladoo, narali bhat, mathura peda, ashoka halwa, mtr gulab jamun, 7 cup barfi, mawa barfi, biscuit ladoo, sheera, fried modak. further to these i would also like to highlight my other recipes collection like,
