drayfrut nakhva hoy tar nakhvana tukda karine ne galyo joiyetar thodo gol nakhvano ne vali levana sakhar nai nakhvani

Type 12 Coconut Ladoos

Ingredients
1 can condensed milk
2 cups dessicated coconut
2 tsp cardamom powder
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup nuts - chopped (pistachios, almonds, cashews)
A few strands of saffron - to decorate

Method
Keep a little coconut and a few pistachios aside for garnishing. Mix the condensed milk and the remaining coconut in a bowl. Add the sugar and elaichi powder and stir on a low flame for about 4-5 mins. The milk is already thick, so don't over-heat else it may get burnt. Remove from flame, then add the chopped nuts and set aside till the mixture has cooled down enough to handle with your hands.

Shape into small laddoos(round balls). Roll each laddoo in a little dessicated coconut. Garnish each with a slit of pistachio and saffron. Alternately, you can spread the mixture after removing from flame into a slightly greased plate or thali which has edges. Then use a knife to cut into squares or diamonds if you want to make Burfis instead of laddoos.

Serve as a delicious treat or Store in airtight jars. This was quick, right? and without compromising your urge for a sweet dessert!!

Tip: You can dissolve saffron (kesar) in 1 tsp warm water and add it to the mixture while heating to make yellow-colored Saffron Coconut burfi or laddoos. I just love the pure white coconut color with a little green/orange garnish at the top!:)
