Banana Coconut Ladoo Recipe
Banana Coconut Ladoo Recipe – A delicious, healthy, and naturally sweet Indian treat made with ripe bananas, coconut, and minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
1 cup = 250 ml
- 4 over ripe bananas (large)
- 1 +1/3 cup desiccated coconut (plus extra for rolling)
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts of your choice (we have added almonds & cashews)
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and put them in a non stick pan.
- Mash them using a fork.
- Now place the pan on heat on low heat.
- Keep stirring and keep cooking.
- After 10-12 minutes, bananas will turn slightly thick and start leaving the base of the pan.
- Then add cardamom powder, nuts, coconut oil and desiccated coconut.
- Mix well and we hardly had to cook them for a minute. The sign is that mixture should leave the base of the pan.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down a bit so that you can touch that.
- Make ladoos out of the mixture.
- Toss them in desiccated coconut.
- Let them sit for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Enjoy
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on the quantity of bananas.
- Do the entire process on low heat while stirring continuously otherwise bananas will stick to the base.
- On adding desiccated coconut, if you feel that mixture is still too much loose, you can cook it for a longer time and if you see that mixture has turned too dry, you can add bit of coconut oil or milk as well.
