Nariyal Laddoo needs no introduction. Soft, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth, these laddoos are quick, easy to make, and tastes fabulous. *gulps*. Nariyal laddoos also known as Coconut laddoos are mainly made with fresh desiccated coconut, sugar, and milk.
There are various methods of making Nariyal laddoos at home. These can be made with milkmaid or khoya or sugar syrup. But for this recipe, I have made them using just milk and sugar. Yes, you read it right. Minimal ingredients from the kitchen. Yay!
Nariyal laddoos or popularly known as Coconut laddoos are the easiest and simplest recipe for people who are beginners in the kitchen. When I started cooking, I didn’t want to try desserts or Indian sweets because I used to feel Indian mithai are difficult to make. If you are someone like me, who are scared but want to try Indian mithai, try your hands with this recipe.
It was a pre-Navratri eve and I wanted to make something for Durga Ji ka Prashad and then this came into my head. Why not make Coconut laddoos with market made desiccated coconut, milk, and sugar! Voila, made these in 15 minutes.
3 ingredients – no khoya – no milkmaid and turns out BOMB!
- I have used market/ready-made Coconut bura/ burada or Nariyal ka burada. Linking the one I have used here.
- Milk
- Sugar
Handy notes before making these yummy Nariyal Laddoos:
- Always use a non-stick kadhai for making them, as they tend to stick.
- Roll the laddoos when the mixture is a bit hot/warm.
- Always use fresh desiccated coconut/ Nariyal burada.
- Keep the desiccated coconut in the fridger.
- For the orange color, I have used saffron strands, you can use food color too.

Ingredients

- In a non-stick kadhai, add milk and let it come to a boil. Now add desiccated coconut and mix it well. On a low flame, cook this mixture till it comes together.
- It will take approx 5-7 minutes for the mixture to come together and get cooked. Make sure to cook this on low flame.
- Once the coconut and milk is cooked, add sugar and stir it again for the next 7-8 minutes till the sugar gets dissolved and cooked properly.
- You will notice that the mixture has cooked properly and has come together like a dough.
- Switch off the gas and add crushed cardamom powder.
- Let the mixture cool down a bit, but make sure to make laddoos when the mixture is a bit warm. Otherwise, they won't take shape.
- Make round laddoos of the mixture and roll them instantly on some desiccated coconut powder just for the final touch.
- If you wanna make colorful saffron laddoos, divide the mixture into two parts. Add saffron strands mixed in little milk to the dough and roll out saffron laddoos. Else you can also add lemon/orange color to one part of the dough and roll out laddoos.
