Narkel er Naadu or Coconut Laddu

I became passionate about food because of my mother and all the housewives in the family, they cook very well !! Food was a big part of my childhood. Our lives were occupied with thoughts associated with food. They were important because they are the beginning of every creation. One of the most popular sweets that a Bengali always prepares at home is "Narkel Naadu" so it was prepared even in our home. Now I too prepare it at my place and it turns out to be the pi`ece de resistance.

Ingredients :

Milk                                                         1 cup

Coconut (Shredded)                                 3 cups

Sugar                                                       2 cups
Rasins and cashew                                    1 tbsp each
Desi Ghee                                                 1 tsp

Narkel er Naadu 

Method :

In a pan heat 1 tsp Desi ghee and lightly saute the raisins and cashew. Keep aside.

Pour the milk into a pan or wok and boil. As soon as the milk starts boiling, put 2 cups of shredded coconut into it. Blend thoroughly ,stirring well with a spoon.

Only when the coconut completely absorbs the milk ,sprinkle sugar on it . Add the raisins and cashew. Keep stirring constantly on medium heat or else it will burn.

As soon as the mixture starts leaving the sides of the wok/pan, remove from heat. Let it cool slightly.

Now, put a drop of desi ghee(clarified butter) on your palm and make small size balls of this mixture.

Place rest of the shredded coconut on a dish. Roll the tiny balls on this coconut. This is optional, you may or may not do it.

Your coconut laddus are ready to eat.
