Wishing all my blog friends a very happy diwali, a festive moment  is never complete with this simple recipe my mother taught me. This soft and delicious indian sweet is prepared in every indian home on festive occasions.

Ingredients

• 1 big coconut grated
• 200 gms jaggery grated
• 2-3 crushed elaichi/cardamom

Procedure
In a heavy bottom pan, mix the coconut and jaggery and cook it in medium flame.Stir occasionally every 1-2 minutes. The jaggery will begin to melt and  start binding with coconut and thicken slowly.

To  know the final stage for binding take a small  portion and try to make a ball out of it, if it binds properly then add the cardamon powder to the whole mixure , stir well switch off the flame immediately. Shift it to a clean plate and let it cool.

Once it is cool to handle yet warm and start making balls out of it.

You coconut jaggery laddu is ready.
