-
I have used a large block of jaggery purchased from my village to avoid added preservatives.
-
To remove foreign particles I have melted jaggery in a small vessel by adding little water.
-
With the help of colander, I removed dust and foreign particles.
-
Put this syrup in a pan and bring it to boil. Water needs to be in less proportion based on the jaggery added.
-
Once jaggery syrup starts boiling, add freshly grated coconut and cook till you get a thick mixture.
-
We can even add little ghee but make sure consistency doesn’t become lost.
-
When the mix becomes thick sprinkle cardamom powder and mix well.
-
Once cooked, put this mix in a plate and spread to cool.
-
While the mix is mildly hot, take small portions and press and roll within hands to make a ball shape.
-
Based on the syrup Coconut Ladoo or Kobbari Laddu turns soft or hard.

Offer this recipe as naivedyam (prasadam) and store in an air-tight container to keep fresh for a week.
