How to make the recipe
Prep-up the coconut: If your coconut is too coarse, process it in a processor until fine.
Make the ladoo mixture: Mix together condensed milk, milk and coconut in a heavy bottol pan. Heat on a medium flame and cook until the mixture turns to a mass, for 2 to 3 mins. It should still be moist. Stir in the cardamom and nuts.
Shape coconut ladoo: When the mixture comes down to warm temperature, take small portions and roll to 18 balls. Roll them immediately in 2 tbsps coconut.
Store coconut ladoo in a air tight jar and refrigerate.
