Rose Coconut Fudge/ Gulab Nariyal Ladoo
I absolutely adore coconut. Anything and everything with Coconut just takes me on a culinary pleasure.
The nutty flavor is sooo sooo intoxicating and inviting. Being born and brought up in Northern part of India where coconut is almost limited to drinking as coconut water or Naariyal paani, loving coconut is just so bizarre;)
But Yes I love making dishes with coconut, either the fresh one or the easily available dried one. (I can eat the whole bowl of coconut chutney in one go, Please don’t laugh;))
And this one dish Coconut Ladoos are always there on my menu for almost all the festivals. You can blame it on my love for coconut or the super duper simple, quick and easy recipe for making these ladoos.
This is unquestionably the simplest recipe and a breeze to make yet the taste is so heavenly. However, this time instead of going the traditional plain way I have added Rose flavor to it and was blown by the delicious outcome.
The flavours of Rose and Coconut are like a match made in the heaven!!! The nutty flavor of coconut is greatly enhanced and balanced by the rose. And my my look at that beautiful rosy color!! Do I need to say anything else?
Instead of me let these beautiful pictures talk to you.
I am falling in love with these beauties again and again.
