This is a very tasty,easy recipe .My friend Anu taught me how to make this ladoo.She makes this ladoo very delicious.
So when last week i have invited many ladies for varmahalakshmi pooja i thought why not give a try to this recipe and made this along with many other prasadam.This time as my mom was also with me ,we celebrated varmahalakshmi vratha very well.prepared Puran Poli,Rawa ladoo(my mother's style),Chitra anna,kosembri,Coconut Ladoo,Broken wheat payasam,Sundal(kaddale) for prasadam.
In these few of the recipe i have already shared and remaining i will post now.

Servings:30 ladoos

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cup or can Dry dessicated coconut(powder dry coconut)
1 can condensed milk(400 gram)
1 tsp cardamon powder
1 tbsp ghee

Method:

This can be prepared with  usuall method on the gas stove and also be prepared in microwave.
Here i am showing you on the gas stove,but my friend anu do it in microwave.
Take a pan, add condensed milk .Add 1/4 cup water in the pan.
Stir water and condensed milk thoroughly and keep in medium flame.Wash the can and make it dry for the measurement.
Now when condensed milk mix starts to boil add 2 cup dessicated coconut,pinch of food color and cardamon powder.If you want can add dry fruits like cashews,almonds and raisins too.stir continuously adding little by little ghee till it leaves the side of the pan and become like a ball at the centre.switch off and take it in some bowl.
When it is cooled a little bit make ping pong size ball of the coconut mixture  .you can grease your hand with ghee while making ladoos.
Finally roll these ladoos over remaining dessicated coconut.

You can store these ladoos in air tight container for 3-4 days.

This recipe i learned after my marriage.Its our udupi style curry.If you don't like brinjal also you will love this palya.In Hindi you can say chatpati sabzi.Here in USA the Eggplant what we get is the purple big once which is not that great for this curry.In India we do it with Mangalore Gulla(brinjal)green ones or Mysore badnekai(brinjal)green long ones or the normal indian size (small) baingan(brinjal) you can use.that type you get it in Indian store here.anyways every time we cannot go to Indian store,so i found some alteration to the recipe and came out good.I used quater of the big purple brinjal what we get in here in walmart and rest i substituted with capsicum(bell pepper).try this you will like it. Ingredients: 5 small Brinjals(Eggplants)/quarter(1/4)of big brinjal 1-2  big capsicum(bell pepper) 1 big onion 1 red chili curry leaves 1tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp urad dal 1/4 tsp hing powder salt to taste 1"-2" jaggery 1 tsp tamarind extract/1/4 tsp tamar
