Carrot-Coconut Ladoos
By Priya Srinivasan - I Camp in My Kitchen - Monday, November 11, 2013
Carrot ladoos were in my to do list for a long time. so, when valli announced dessert using veggies theme, I decided to make it this time. They are very easy to make, great in taste and color. I have used equal amount of carrot and coconut, but you can increase the carrots to another 1/2 cup. Addition of raisins adds an oomph to the color factor. Brown puffy raisins in orange balls looks damn cute. So do not miss that!!! This makes a great after-school treat to kids and a colorful party dessert too.
1 Cup shredded carrots
1 Cup desscated coconut
1/4 Cup of silvered almonds
1/4 Cup of raisins
1/2 tin Condensed Milk(400g tin)
4 tsp ghee
Method
1 Cup desscated coconut
1/4 Cup of silvered almonds
1/4 Cup of raisins
1/2 tin Condensed Milk(400g tin)
4 tsp ghee
Method
- In a Non-stick pan, add ghee, add silvered almonds and raisins and saute for 2 minutes or until the raisins puff up.
- Add shredded carrots and saute for around 8-10 minutes until the carrots wilt and changes color to a pale orange.
- Now add desiccated coconut and saute for 2 minutes or until a nice aroma emanates.
- Next add condensed milk and mix well. The mixture will immediately come together as a ball.
- Keep stirring for another 1 or 2 minutes until the mixture turns a bit dry.
- Take it off the stove. Let it become warm enough to touch. Make lemon-size balls out of it. Store it in an air-tight container in the fridge.
