Paan Coconut Ladoo- no cook ladoos !

 Ingredients

• 1 cup Desiccated coconut
• 4 Paan/ betel leaves
• 1/4 tin Condensed Milk
• drop of green food colour
• 1/4 cup Water (refer notes)
• 3 tbsp Gulkand
• 2 tbsp Mixed nuts chopped
• more desiccated coconut to roll

Instructions Take chopped mixed nuts of your choice and add it to the gulkand. Combine together and keep it aside. Chop the paan leaves and transfer it to a blender. Add the condensed milk and green food colour. Blend until combined. Add little water at a time and blend until it is a smooth mixture. Add this blended mixture to the desiccated coconut and combine until well mixed.  Grease your palms with some ghee. Take a small portion of the coconut paan mixture and make a roundel. Flatten it out. Stuff some gulkand filling in the centre and again shape it back to a ladoo. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used up. Finally, roll the ladoos onto some desiccated coconut spread onto a plate and store in an air tight container. 

Notes

1. Use just enough water to grind the mixture. In case you feel the mixture has become too watery then you can add more desiccated coconut to compensate it and if it is too dry to roll it into a ladoo shape then add a tsp of water to bring it together.
2. You can also use other ingredients like - tutti frutti, fennel seeds etc as part of your filling or completely skip the filling too if you do not like it.
3. This recipe won't work if you are using fresh or frozen shredded coconut. In that case just dry roast them in a pan until the moisture is dried out and then use.
