How To make Coconut Til Ladoo (Laddu)? | Instant Coconut Til Ladoo (Laddu) Recipe
Coconut Til Ladoo, also known as Coconut Sesame Balls, is a delicious Indian sweet made with coconut and sesame seeds. It’s a popular dessert often prepared during festivals and special occasions. In this recipe, I’ll guide you through the process of making Coconut Til Ladoo from scratch. Let’s get started!
Here is a breakfast recipe that is easy to prepare and delicious to eat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated coconut
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup jaggery (or brown sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat a pan over medium heat and dry roast the sesame seeds until they turn golden brown. Make sure to stir continuously to avoid burning. Once roasted, transfer them to a plate and let them cool.
- In the same pan, add the grated coconut and roast it for a few minutes until it becomes slightly dry. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once done, remove it from the pan and let it cool.
- Now, take the roasted sesame seeds and grind them into a coarse powder using a mixer or a food processor. Keep a small portion aside for garnishing later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted coconut, ground sesame seeds, jaggery (or brown sugar), cardamom powder, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Melt the ghee in a small pan and pour it over the mixture. The ghee will help bind the ingredients together.
- Mix everything thoroughly using your hands. Ensure that the mixture is well combined and sticky enough to shape into balls. If it feels dry, you can add a little more melted ghee.
- Take a small portion of the mixture in your palm and shape it into a ball by pressing it firmly. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
- If desired, roll the prepared Coconut Til Ladoos in the reserved ground sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- Place the Coconut Til Ladoos on a plate or tray and let them cool for some time. As they cool down, they will firm up and hold their shape.
- Once completely cooled, store the Coconut Til Ladoos in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a week or refrigerated for longer shelf life.
- Serve these delightful Coconut Til Ladoos as a sweet treat after meals or offer them as prasad (offering) during religious ceremonies. They make a perfect gift for festive occasions too.
