This is called as "Bellam kobbarunda" in Telugu .
One thing that we used to buy in our childhood when my mother used to give some pocket money to spend. Each laddu used to cost 25p or 50p -- based on size.
[And even we used to get one Asha chocolate with that 25 paisa coin :) :) ]
Sad that now Indian government banned 25p coin .........
Preparation time : 20 mins
Makes : 12
Ingredients :
Grated Coconut : 1cup
Jaggery : 1cup
Ghee : 1 tsp
Method :
If you are using dessicated coconut then you should keep that in warm water for at least 15mins and squeeze out the water.
If you are using freshly grated coconut then you can proceed straightaway.
Heat a pan, add 1/2 tsp of ghee coconut and jaggery to it.
Keep stirring it until the Jaggery melts and becomes thin liquid. It gradually thickens. ( The indication is when nothing sticks to the pan )
Take it off from flame. Let is cool for a bit just enough for you to be able to handle it and make laddus :).. Please note that it will very difficult to make laddus if it cools down completely. ( Something like strike the iron when it is hot :) )
Use remaining 1/2 tsp ghee now.
Apply ghee to your hand and make it into nice balls.
These laddus you can keep them out in a box and they will stay fresh for 10 to 15 days.
This is very good for kids -- because of the ingredients.
