5 MINUTE COCONUT LADDOOS |EASIEST LADDOO RECIPE

You are at home, chilling and enjoying your day and some of your close relatives or friends drop by unannounced, you fix a meal in a jiffy and want to serve some dessert too.

What do you make when you are short on time but want to serve something delicious for dessert? Make these 5 minute delicious coconut laddoos.

This recipe needs just 2 ingredients, but you can add some more optional ingredients to make it even more special.

I always keep condensed milk cans and dry coconut powder in my pantry, these 2 ingredients are used in making many dishes.

For my other Nariyal barfi recipe, check here.

In a nutshell, you just need to add the condensed milk to the coconut powder and make delicious balls out of it.

This laddoo recipe is very versatile, just take these two ingredients (coconut and condensed milk) and ad or subtract the other suggested ingredients to get a new flavor everytime.

Let’s start with the Ingredients and directions;

Ingredients:

Dessicated Coconut powder/ Nariyal burada: 2 cups or around 175gms

Condensed milk: 200 gms, also known as Milkmaid

Ghee: 1 tbsp (optional, but it gives a good fragrance and flavor)

Gulkand: 2 tbsp (optional)

Cardamom / Elaichi: 2-3 pods powdered (optional), I didn’t add

Dryfruits: optional (I didn’t add)

Directions:

Make sure the dessicated coconut is not too coarse and is fresh, meaning it does not smell of oil. If it is very coarse, just pulse it in the mixie to get a finer texture.

Take a heavy bottomed pan and put ghee, add the dessicated coconut (keep a tbsp or two aside for rolling the laddoos later ) and stir for a minute on low flame, add the condensed milk and mix well.

Switch off the flame and mix the two well with a spoon. Take it out on a plate and at this stage you can add powdered cardamoms, any dryfruits like raisins, or pistachios. I added a tbsp of Gulkand or rose jam for added fragrance and flavor.

Make sure the mixture is not very hot and then make small balls out of it. Roll the laddoos in some dessicated coconut and you are done. Delicious Nariyal laddoos are ready to be enjoyed.

Additional Ingredients that can be added:

Saffron

Raisins, pistachios, slivered almonds, cashew bits.

DryFruit powder can be added for extra nutrition.

Bits of soft gooey dates can be added for extra sweetness and nutrition. Soft dates like Kimia.

Rose essence

Sweet Pan readymade mix

Charoli / Chironji can be placed in the centre.

If you like Pink laddoos, it can be made with the addition of some Rooh Afza sharbat, adjust the amount of condensed milk then.

Most simple dessert |Nariyal Barfi / Coconut Barfi

This wonderful nariyal barfi can be made with left over condensed milk or gulab jamun sugar syrup also known as chashni.

This is how i make Sugar Syrup:
Combine 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water and boil for 6-7  minutes stirring continuously. You can now use it in the recipe.

Coconut-Peanut Chutney/Dip

This chutney or dip is an essential accompaniment to idli or dosa. It can also be had with cheela (chickpea crepes or savoury rice crepes). Coconut peanut chutney is very healthy, the coconut supports gut health, peanuts are rich in proteins, essential fats and fat soluble vitamins. So just a teaspoonful is actually beneficial along with being tasty as well.

Mop up with Medu wada, Idli and Dosa. I devour it with fritters and kebabs as well.

Paneer Laddoo |Sweet Cottage-cheese laddoo

I was in a mood for a dessert that can be devoured after a meal and i had some cottage cheese in my fridge. So what did i make?? A very melt-in-mouth delicious Cottage cheese laddoo dessert. Just the right sweetness with hints of cardamom and rose flavors that i simply love. Make ahead for parties, dinners or lunches.

A very simple dessert made out of Paneer and rolled in some desiccated coconut.

Keep these laddoos in refrigerator and relish them within 3-4 days.

Saffron in milk can be added for a rich and beautiful orange colored kesari laddoos.

Cardamom and Rose essence gives it a refreshing taste and it is an awesome dessert to have after a meal. No need of a mouth-freshener then 😀

Coconut Stuffed Karela (Bitter gourd)

I hated Karela for obvious reasons and then I tasted this Coconut Stuffed Karela. Am a convert now.

Karela has a lot of health benefits and if you make it my style, it’s going to be a definite hit.

Some of my folks don’t mind the bitterness, so they leave the skin on, but I peel it off. Also, sometimes, the seeds and skin are used as a part of the stuffing, but I discard them.

Before buying make sure the karela’s are bit firm and a beautiful green. Do not buy the ones that are yellow or soft. I prefer to use the small ones.

Ingredients:
Karela – 4-5 small firm
Ginger – a small piece
Grated dry Coconut – 1/2 cup
Turmeric – 2 tbsp
Salt – 2 tbsp
Jaggery – 1 tsp (Sugar can be used as substitute)
Tamarind- 1 tsp (Lemon can be used as substitute)
Green Chilies – 4
Garlic Cloves – 4
Coriander leaves – 1/2 cup
Cumin seeds – 1 tsp (optional)
Oil – 1 tbsp

Directions:

Peel the karelas and remove the seeds from them. Discard the skin and seeds.

Add/massage salt and turmeric over and inside the karelas. Set aside for at least half an hour.

After half an hour, rinse the karelas thoroughly and boil it in for a minute or two in plain water.

Now for Stuffing, dry roast small pieces of coconut and grind it with chilies, jeera, salt, coriander leaves, jaggery, tamarind, garlic and ginger.

Stuff this mixture in the karelas and tie it with a string.

Heat some oil in a wok and shallow fry the karelas till crisp and brown.

Serve with Dal Chawal or Parathas.Enjoy.
