Week :1 , Day: 1
Theme: Cooking with Coconut
For this week I have picked the theme cooking with coconut.I am very fond of coconut and like it in any form.The fresh coconut is the best but I don’t mind the dried one too. The South Indians use it in their daily diets but for we North Indians , we use it for poojas or sweets. With cooking going international the coconut milk is what I use most, but unlike my blogging friends I buy ready tetra packs.
Coming to the very first day of this week I have coconut ladoos. These ladoos are made from fresh coconut and almonds. These are one of the best ladoos that I have made, they just melt in the mouth.
Are you guys wondering..Vaishali and ladoos…well they are my favorite !

I love nariyal in any form. This is one amazing ladoo
And there is saffron and more ghee in the method and none in the ingredients. Did I get it right? (Please don't publish this comment)
Vaishali, first of all – th pictures look very nice. Second, the recipe seems easy and doable, even for me (I am a ladoo novice :D). I am bookmarking this, let me see how this turns out for me 🙂
What a coincidence! I too made coconut laddus today afternoon. Your almond touch to the laddus add a flavor layer and with the pretty nuts' garnish, they are looking fabulous.
My mom use to make laddus something similar with fresh coconut, minus almonds.
Pics are really very tempting…same must be with the taste
