I have recently joined FB Gourmet group "Healthy Wellthy Cuisines" and the theme is "Coconut". Coconut is one of the essentials of South Indian cooking and I was indeed happy with the same. Coconut ladoo / Nariyal ladoo  is my contribution towards the theme.

    Love making coconut barfi or ladoo by cooking the coconut with milk and sugar, no condensed milk, milk powder, etc. I learned how to make a similar recipe from my aunt in law. The flavour of coconut comes through completely.

    That’s a wonderful recipe to make coconut ladoo from desiccated coconut. Soaking in milk should help a lot in making the ladoos soft.

    Wow. This looks so easy and it does not have the condensed milk like most coconut laddoo recipes. Awesome share and perfect for the festive season

    Coconut Ladoo with milk and not condensed milk is an interesting recipe here. Guess these need to be refrigerated for long term use.
