After a very long time (almost a year and a half after) I am positng this recipe. Birth of this recipe has a secret behind it. Two days before Dilwali I wanted to make some varieties of sweet for my husband. Coconut burfi is one among his favourities. For his Birthday I made this in a traditional way and it came out really good. After that I saw somewhere that coconut burfi can be made easily with the dry coconut from Indian store . So I thought of making coconut burfi using dry coconut. With that process I ended up with real good coconut ladoo instead of burfi.
Ingredients
Dry coconut powder : 14 oz packet
Sweetened Condensed Milk : 14 oz can
Cardamom powder : a pinch
Preparation:
1. Place a thick bottom kadai in stove.Kadai must be thick otherwise coconut will get burnt easily. you can use Indian pressure pans if you don’t have thick kadai.
2. Add the dry coconut and roast it well till nice aroma comes out.May be in a low flame for about 5-10 mins.
2. Add two cups of sugar to the coconut and mix well. ( I used the rice cup given along with rice cooker).
3. Add the condensed milk into it and mix well. All these should be done in slow flame otherwise cocount will be burnt.
4. Add cardamom powder to it and keep mixing for another 5-10 mins. Once everthing is mixed well and if yiou feel you can make nice balls out of it turn off the stove.
5. Cool it for sometime when it is warm enough to be handled then start making ladoos by pressing the mixture very well. This will yield you 30-35 ladoo’s of normal size.
Tips:
To make this rich you can add roasted cashews or anynuts before turning of the stove.
This is very quick but very rich sweet which needs minimal effort/work and can be done in 10-15 mins.
My Grandma’s place is a very small village named Palappampatti. Once in every year we (people of that village ) used to goto KODUMUDI and bring theertham from there to do pooja for Godesses Kaliamman .On that day those who are going to take theeram will do fasting from morning till that Pooja got over in the evening. I also used to do fasting. That time my Grandma used to tell me its no harm taking food with out salt.I used to say no..no…..So,she used to prepare me AVAL recipe Since I said no..no.. to that also , she convienced me that itz a food which will be taken during fasting , soI had it .Since she used to make her aval recipe as round balls I named it as “Aval Ladoo”.
This canbe considered as a very good recipe for kids since it is easy to chew and won’t get choaked.
Aval is also known as Poha, Rice flakes etc.So we can say this recipe as “Poha ladoo”, “Riceflakes ladoo “etc (in whatever way you want).
Ingredients
1. Aval :1 cup
2. Sugar :1/4 cup
3. Grated coconut :1/4 cup
4. Roasted cashewnuts for decoration
Preparation
1. Add water to aval and drain the water and keep aside for five minutes so that it will become soft
2. Add sugar and coconut to it and mix well and make round balls.

Tips
Dry grapes (Raisins) also can be used for decoration.
