Coconut Ladoos for Diwali

For a lot of us first generation Indians, making traditional Indian sweets can sometimes feel a little daunting, too complicated and most of the time – we’d honestly rather spend our time making cookies, cupcakes or something that the entire family will actually eat. But these coconut ladoos are a completely different story.
