Coconut ladoo or Nariyal ladoo is a popular indian festival sweet. It is one of the easiest desserts that one can make in thirty minutes.
I have recently joined FB Gourmet group “Healthy Wellthy Cuisines” and the theme is “Coconut”. Coconut is one of the essentials of South Indian cooking and I was indeed happy with the same. Coconut ladoo / Nariyal ladoo is my contribution towards the theme.
Coconut ladoo is a popular sweet prepared during festivities as Ganesh Chaturthi and Deepawali. It is tasty and easy to prepare. All the ingredients are easily available at home. The only task here is the grating of the coconut and it can be kept priorly ready.
Let’s get to the recipe of Coconut Ladoo / Nariyal Ladoo
Ingredients:
- 2 cup desiccated coconut
- 11/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ghee
- 8 cashew
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
Method:
- Grate the coconut.
- Mix the coconut in milk and keep it aside for half an hour.
- Take a pan and roast the cashews in ghee. Keep them aside.
- In the same pan, add the coconut mixture to it. Put sugar and let it cook on a low flame.
- Keep stirring, the sugar should melt and condense to form a thick mixture.
- Once it is done, add cardamom powder and roasted nuts.
- Allow to cool. Make balls and keep them aside for sometime. Later, keep them in an air tight container.

Who will resist to those laddoos, our family favourite. Just love it to the core. Seriously feel like grabbing and having some rite now.
This is one simple and easy dish to prepare, yet tastes heavenly..
I usually don’t like sweets but nariyal ki barfi and laddoo I can eat a little.. they really taste good.
These look so yummy, absolutely love coconut laddos or burfi 🙂
Ganesh Chaturthi is coming, this recipe would be so perfect for that occasion. Ladoos looks super yummy. When I first saw the pic, I thought you had added some cocoa powder to get this chocolate color ladoos. But I didn’t find that in your ingredients. How we get this color?
Malini, thankyou for the visit, I have used dry coconut in the recipe, not the fresh one. Thus, roasting that has imparted this colour to it. Do try and let me know how it was.
Oh ok. sure.. Thank you for sharing.
Coconut Ladoo are my all time favourite. They make for easy as well as festive treats. Thanks for the share.
