Coconut ladoos are not only delicious but they are very healthy too. Traditionally, Coconut ladoos are made with khoya and unsweetened desiccated coconut but making khoya is a long process where milk is reduced to khoya/mawa by cooking it for long hours and then desiccated coconut is added along with sugar and cardamom powder to reduced milk solids along with some ghee and shaped into ladoos or burfi. This recipe of Coconut ladoos cuts short the cooking time and is ready under 10 minutes.
