Paan Ladoo

Ingredients:

1 Cup condensed milk

½ Cup of desiccated coconut

a pinch of green cardamom (elaichi) powder

1 tsp Aniseeds

8 – 10 beetel leaves (paan)

a pinch of edible green colour

1 cup desiccated coconut for rolling

2 tbsp gulkand

1 tsp ghee for greasing

2 tbsp chopped dry fruits (cashew , pistachios , almonds)

Method :

In a pan, add Gulkand and the dry fruits and cook on slow flame till it binds together. Switch off the gas and keep it aside to cool. Roll the paan leaves together and finely chop them.Pour the condensed milk in heavy bottom pan. Add desiccated coconut to it and mix well. Cook the condensed milk and coconut mixture in the heavy bottom pan, on medium low flame. Stir the mixture continuously to avoid burning. Add the chopped paan leaves and a pinch of green food color and cardamom powder to it. Within 2 to 3 minutes, the mixture will start leaving the sides and come together as dough. Switch off the gas and let rest for 5 to 6 minutes. Grease your palms with ghee. Pinch a small portion of the mixture and make a depression with your thumb on it and place a bit of Gulkand and dryfruits mixture inside and roll between your hands into balls like ladoos. Roll the ladoos in desiccated coconut and keep aside.
