Microwave Condensed Milk Coconut Ladoo

Microwave Coconut Ladoo
Happy Krishna Jayanti to all! Hope you all are celebrating with your loved ones. For this year, I made a 5 minutes Condensed Milk Coconut Ladoo. Yes, cooking time for this dessert is just 5 minutes in a microwave.

Ingredients:
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 14 oz (396 gm)
Desiccated (Dry) Coconut - 1 1/2 cups + 1/4 cup
Green Cardamom/Elaichi - 4 pods
Ghee/Clarified Butter - 2 tsp
Roasted Cashews - about 12

 How to cook Condensed Milk Coconut Ladoo in a microwave:
  • Crush the cardamom seeds in a mortar pestle to a fine powder.
  • Wipe a microwave safe bowl dry. Grease the bowl with 1 tsp ghee. Add condensed milk and 1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut. Mix well.Microwave this milk and coconut mix for 3 minutes. Stop the microwave after every minute and stir. This will avoid burning. Next, add cardamom powder to the bowl and mix again. Microwave for 1 more minute. 
  • Take a small portion of the cooked ladoo mixture and check if you can make a small round ball of it. If so, your ladoo mixture is ready. If not, microwave for another 30 seconds or 60 seconds. Let it cool a little.

  • Alternately, you can cook this milk and coconut mix in a pan on a stove top as well.
  • In a plate, add 1/4 cup desiccated coconut for rolling the ladoos. When the cooked ladoo mixture is cool enough to handle, grease your hands with ghee. Divide the mixture into 11 parts. Roll each one to make a round ball and gently press a cashew in the center of each ladoo. Lastly, coat all the ladoos in desiccated coconut and your 5 minutes Condensed Milk Coconut Ladoo is ready to devour. Serve Coconut Ladoo in cupcake liners.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.
