Coconut Besan Ladoo

Coconut Besan Ladoo is a quick Indian Sweet that you can make for any festival. Make this for Diwali and enjoy the nutty coconut and besan in a jaggery mix.

Ladoos are quick to make and for any festival, if you are hard pressed for time, this one sweet is surely something you can easily make. I couldn’t plan for any elaborate sweets and savory preparation this Diwali. Amma made her usual item of dishes and we have been just enjoying it.

However since a new post and a new dish is expected from me, I pushed myself to make this ladoo on Diwali Eve. The ladoo is a combination of fresh coconut and nutty besan with loads of almonds. I love roasted almonds and since my kids will anyway not eat these, I thought I might as well include the nuts.

I avoid adding nuts as none of them like it. So the Dark Chocolate Fudge ball was supposed to have nuts and I had to skep it. Hoping I will squeeze in some time to write the post, I clicked some pictures in a hurry. However, I couldn’t do it and then Konda clicked some elaborate pictures herself. She has started an insta handle for her food pictures and insists she clicks the pictures her way for her account.

She takes so much time arranging and clicking that I don’t have so much patience. It worked out well this time because these are sweets and nobody is actually waiting for it. The plate of Diwali Sweets had the regular ones that Amma makes every year. Rava Ladoo, Kaja, Mysore Pak, and Saggu biyam Murukku. I made Dark Chocolate Fudge Truffles and Coconut Besan Ladoo.

This is the final one for the Diwali Sweets of the final week of BM#105. I hope everybody had a wonderful Diwali this year!
