Ingredients:
- 2 cups (180g) desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup (150g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp (14g) ghee
- 1/4 tsp (0.5g) cardamom powder
- 12 pieces (12g) sliced almonds or pistachios
Instructions:
- Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan over low heat.
- Add 1.5 cups of the desiccated coconut and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until a nutty aroma is released and the coconut is slightly toasted.
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and add the cardamom powder.
- Stir continuously on medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and forms a soft, non-sticky dough ball that leaves the sides of the pan.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool for 3-5 minutes until touchable but still warm.
- Grease your palms with a small amount of ghee.
- Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a smooth sphere.
- Immediately roll the sphere in the remaining 0.5 cup of desiccated coconut until fully coated.
- Press a sliver of almond or pistachio into the top of each ladoo.
