Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Powder the Sooji
Take 1/2 cup of sooji (semolina) and blend it in a mixer grinder until it turns into a fine powder. Set this powdered sooji aside.
Step 2: Prepare Coconut Milk
Add 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut and 1 cup of milk to the same mixer grinder. Blend until you get a smooth coconut milk mixture. This coconut milk is now ready to use.
Step 3: Fry Powdered Sooji
Heat 4 tablespoons of ghee in a pan. Once the ghee is hot, add the powdered sooji. Fry the sooji for on medium heat, stirring continuously, until it turns frothy and lightly golden.
Step 4: Add Sugar and Mix
To the fried sooji, add 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix well with the sooji until the sugar is fully incorporated and starts to melt slightly.
Step 5: Incorporate Coconut Milk
Pour the prepared coconut milk into the sooji and sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
Step 6: Cook until Thick
Keep stirring the mixture continuously on medium-low heat. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and forms a cohesive dough-like consistency that leaves the sides of the pan.
Step 7: Add Cardamom Powder
Transfer the cooked sooji mixture to a bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder and mix it well into the dough.
Step 8: Shape and Garnish Ladoos
Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball. Gently press it to form a flat disc. Coat the disc with desiccated coconut and then press a piece of pistachio in the center for garnish.
