COCONUT MAIDA LADDU

We are familiar with coconut laddu, coconut burfi, besan laddu, boondi laddu etc.  what about  coconut maida laddu.  When I posted this, I realised that the Besan Ladoo post is pending.


Few other diwali recipes

When I was making besan laddu, it just flashed in my mind that I must make something with maida too.  When I tried this recipe, came out well.  Initially, i tried it with very little quantity without measuring the ingredients, some how, it was not bad.  Hence tried the same with proper measurement and was a hit.  Though I am too late to post my diwali recipes, hope you all will make an attempt to make this too.

Let us look at the recipe now;

Ingredients:

1 and  1/2 cup maida
1/2 cup grated coconut
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup ghee
cardamom powder
1/2 cup roasted nuts crushed

Method;

Heat the ghee in kadai, add maida and roast the same till the raw smell goes and the colour changes do not worry, switch off gas and keep aside.   In another kadai, put the sugar and 1/4 cup water to melt the same.  add the grated coconut, cardamom powder and keep on stirring till you reaches one to two thread consistency.  Switch off gas and start slowly mixing the roasted maida, nuts  in it till you get a ball out of it.  apply little ghee on your palm, when it is  hot, bearable heat, start making laddus.  You need around 2-3 people to make the laddus immediately.   In case the mixture becomes powdery,  add two tsp hot ghee and warm water, mix well and make the laddus.  can store in fridge for about a week.

NOTE:  you can put this in a greased plate and cut it into desired shape too.  The difference between besan laddu and coconut maida laddu is for besan laddu, when the besan mix becomes cool, we add the sugar in it.
