Ingredients

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 1/2 cups plus 3/4 cup dry coconut powder

   Take a heavy bottomed pan and add the can of condensed milk to it. Cook this on low heat till the condensed milk becomes warm.

   
2. 2

   Then add the 2 1/2 cups of dry coconut powder and cook (stirring continuously) for another 5 minutes on low heat till the coconut softens and the mixture looks well combined.

3. 3

   Remove from heat. Apply water to your hands and using a tablespoon of the filling at a time, form into small rounds (about an inch in diameter). Take the rest of 3/4 cup coconut powder in a bowl and roll this round in the coconut powder.

4. 4

   Repeat for all the mixture.

   Note: It is important to roll the laddoos in the coconut powder as you form the rounds so that the powder clings to the laddoos.
