Ingredients
Ladoo:
  • 2 cups coconut , desiccated or fresh
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cups condensed milk
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 2 tsp ghee
  • 10-12 strands saffron , soaked in warm milk
  • 2 tsp red rose syrup , Roohafza or rose essence/rose water and few drops of red food color
Garnish:
  • 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • few strands saffron , soaked in warm milk
Instructions
  1. Heat ghee in the pan, add coconut and let it roast for few minutes. Don’t let it turn brown.

  2. Now, add milk , condensed milk and cardamom powder. Stir well and cook this mixture on low flame.

  3. When the mixture begins to leave the sides of the pan and you start seeing some coconut fat and ladoo mixture coming together, switch off the flame. Don’t over roast the mixture, otherwise it will turn too dry for making ladoos.

  4. Take out the mixture on a plate and divide it into 2 parts.

    In the first part mix in your soaked saffron.

    In the second part add rose syrup . If you are adding rose syrup then no need to add red color. It will automatically make the mixture pink. But, if you are adding rose water/rose essence, then you have to add few drops of red color to make it pink.

  5. Let the mixture cool a litte and then you can start making ladoos. Take a small amount of mixture in your palm and roll them in small to medium balls.

  6. After all the ladoos are made, roll them in desiccated coconut evenly.

  7. Place them in muffin liners .Garnish with a saffron dot and rose petals on top. Your Saffron Rose Ladoos are ready to serve. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes
  • Ladoos will stay good for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
