Healthy Coconut carrot laddus

 

Healthy eating is so important with the health concerns rising. The fast food culture and not much cooking at home is leading to more sugar intake. I like making these bites of light sweetness. They are healthy and can still give you the satisfaction of enjoying a dessert or a small bite with coffee. These are a favourite of my friends and family  

Ingredients

2 cups desiccated coconut flakes

1 cup grated carrots

1 cup almond powder

¼ cup chopped almonds

1 cup milk

1 cup sugar- brown/white

1/4th cup raisins

2-3 cardamoms powdered

1/4th tsp Saffron soaked in milk 

2 tbsp Ghee

Method

1. Add coconut, carrots, almond powder and milk in a pan and keep cooking until almost dry and milk is absorbed. The mixture comes together well.
2. Add raisins, almond pieces, saffron and sugar. Cook till the mixture starts to come together again.
3. Put in ghee and cardamom. Start to cook till the mixture starts to leave the pan. 
4. Pour into a ghee greased plate and roll it 1 cm thick.
5. Cool it for a few hours and cut into squares or roll into small bite size laddus.
