Date with Coconut Ladoo

Easy to make, a very tasty instant sweet...that can be made in a jiffy! Amma wanted to try this recipe since a long time, but since we introduce very little coconut in our diet, she was a bit wary about making this! But finally she decided to make this for Friday Puja...very tasty...one can gobble...gobble...gobble...but then please relish it slowly over few days time!

Ingredients:

100 gm Desiccated Coconut Powder

100 gm Milk Powder

50 gm Powdered Sugar

4 tsp Milk, luke warm

8 Khajoor | Dates

8 Golden Raisins

8 Black Raisins

Method:

• Remove the stone from the dates and cut them length wise and then dice them to small cubes. We used seedless dates.
• In a mixing bowl, add desiccated coconut powder, milk powder, powdered sugar and 3 tsp of milk. Knead to make a soft dough. If required, add the remaining milk. The dough should be such that you can make smooth ladoos of it.
• Make 15 equal portions, about the size of a lemon. 
• Take one portion, give it a shape of laddoo and with your thumb press in the center to make a small vati | bowl like shape.
• Add few date cubes inside the vati shape and then cover to make laddoo shape again.
• Prepare the remaining ladoos in the same fashion.
• Garnish each laddo with 1 raisin. 
• Serve and relish. These ladoos need to be refirgerated.

Easy to make, which even kids will love to make along with you!
