Coconut Ladoo
Steps to make Coconut Ladoo:
1. Mix the sugar with the water and dissolve it. if there
are impurities than strain the sugar solution. keep the sugar solution on fire
and on a low flame cook the solution.
2. The solution will start to thicken and continue to cook till you get the one
thread consistency in the sugar solution. this takes some minutes. this is a
very hot solution, so when checking for one thread consistency, cool the
solution in a spoon and then check.
3. Switch off the flame and add the desiccated coconut and cardamom powder to
the sugar solution.
4. Be quick enough to stir the whole mixture well.
5. Make small balls from the mixture. if the heat is too much too handle, wait
for a few seconds till you are comfortable in making the ladoos. the mixture
should be hot or more warm while making the ladoos. If the mixture become cold,
then making the ladoos is impossible. in this case, return the pan or bowl on
the fire and slightly warm the mixture and continue to make the ladoos.
6. Make all ladoos this way.
