Instant Coconut Laddoo | Ready In 15 Minutes Coconut Laddoo | Nariyal Ke Laddoo

By
These are melt in the mouth delicious coconut laddoos are made with freshly grated coconut, milk & sugar. This three-ingredient traditional recipe is made as an offering to Lord Ganesha or any other diety for religious occasions.




These nariyal laddoos are super easy to make and you can customize the flavor of the coconut laddoo with cardamom powder or saffron or skip them altogether.


Makes 14 medium-sized laddoos

Ingredients:
3 cups freshly grated coconut,
2 tsp ghee,
1-1/2 cup milk,
1 cup sugar,
1/4th cup milk powder, (optional)


Method:

  1. Measure out all the ingredients and set it aside.
  2. Heat a heavy bottom pan and add the ghee.
  3. Add the fresh coconut and saute it on low flame for 3-4 mins.
  4. Now add the milk and keep stirring until all the moisture of the milk is evaporated. This might take about 7-8 mins on low flame.
  5. Next, add the sugar and mix well.
  6. Keep stirring continuously for another 6-7 mins until the sugar is melted and the mixture starts to come together.
  7. Add the milk powder (if using, I have not used) at this stage and mix well. You will see the mixture now resembles like crumbles.
  8. Remove the mixture on to a plate and spread it out evenly to cool down. 
  9. Once it's cooled down enough that you can touch it, start making laddoos by pressing them between your palms.
  10. Store them in an airtight container.


Notes:

  • Ensure the flame is on low at all times so that the white color of the coconut is retained.
  • If after adding the sugar the mixture seems too runny, don't worry. Just cook some more coconut in milk like step 2, 3 & 4 and add it to the original mixture.
  • You can replace the fresh coconut with desiccated coconut also.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix Recipe!!!

By
As the leaves start to change color and cheery pumpkins show up on doorsteps, summer seems like a distant memory and we're smack-dab in the middle of fall. And while pumpkin spice-flavored treats make their appearance just about, well, everywhere, do you even know what it contains? Here's what it is and why you should make it at home. (Hint: It's as easy as it gets!) Guess What? There's No Pumpkin in Pumpkin Spice! For years, I thought pumpkin pie spice actually had pumpkin in it. Silly me. How on earth would you get pumpkin in there? Dehydrate and powder it? In any case, pumpkin pie spice is simply a blend of the traditional spices that go into a good ol' fashioned pumpkin pie. What's in Pumpkin Pie Spice? If you go the store-bought route, pumpkin pie spice blends can vary by manufacturer, but typically contain the more sweet-smelling spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Allspice and mace are also common ingredients. Why Should ...

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...
