Coconut Laddu with New Year Wishes!

Wish you all a very very Happy New Year and let's start this year with a sweet!




My mom use to prepare this laddu in my childhood days. I love it too much! After I got married, I haven’t try out this sweet. When I started sweet event, Ujwala Mohan came out with this recipe and she remembered my childhood days. Thanks a lot to her for providing an opportunity to prepare this laddu. When I started to prepare it in one fine evening, my young kiddo got much interest and I told him that am going to prepare laddus for him. He started to tell give me laddu from the moment I started to grate laddu, though he don’t know how actually laddu will be. So to control his eagerness for a while, I gave him a spoon of milkmaid and he licked it and said “WOW! Super!”

When I finished doing laddus, I gave him a small piece and he said laddu is super. When his dad returned to home from his office, he told him how I prepared laddus. He did in action that he is frying and rolling out the laddus. Really it’s a very good moment. Lets come to the recipe now.
