We shall be celebrating our 74th Indpendence day this year and there is no celebration without a tricolor be it a costume, the national flag or sweets. We can prepare several tricolor recipes to celebrate this day like pulao, cake, pooris, laddoos, sweets and many more.

I am sharing the a very easy and quick yet very delicious recipe to make Tricolor Coconut laddoo without Milkmaid (Independence day special) that too without using milkmaid.

This year has not the same like every other year as we are experiencing socail distancing, lockdown, quarantine and what not and the festivities this year are also not the same like always. The current scenario has certainly taken down the grandness of the festival but our zeal, enthusiasm should remainthe same and as far as the food is concerned, we should not stop ourselves from cooking and having good food as they say “good food means good mood.”

So, lets try these yummy laddoos at home and celebrate our Independence day hoping for a new future with an independence from COVID-19 and social distancing and a great year ahead.

In this recipe I have not used milk maid or mawa, instead I firstly made the condensed milk and then used it to make laddoos.

♨ Course Dessert

2.5 cups dessicated/grated coconut
1/2 litre milk (full fat)
1/2 tablespoon corn flour
1/2 cup sugar
a pinch of green food color
a pinch of orange color
1/4 cup dessicated/grated coconut for coating

Ingredients:

Notes / tips to follow:

I have used dessicated coconut/ coconut powder for this recipe. You can used the freshly grated coconut as well.
I have not used the mawa or condensed milk because I find it too sweet in taste. Hence, I have made the condensed milk myself and used in the recipe.
I had the powdered food color, you can used the liquid or gel as well. Only use 1-2 drops because this much quantity can give a good color to the food.
If you like milkmaid, you can use it to make this recipe for sure.
You can also use saffron strands for saffron color and paan leaves (paste) for getting a nice green color.
Full fat milk is preferred to make the condensed milk as it gives a really nice, smooth and creamy texture but you can use any milk of your choice. Corn flour will help to thicken the consistency.
You can make the burfi with the same recipe it is just the matter of shape 🙂

Stepwise recipe to make Tricolor Coconut laddoo:

To make the condensed milk:

Heat 1/2 litre milk in a pan and let it boil on a low flame. Keep stirring.

2. Bring the milk to boil.

3. Once the milk boils, add sugar o it and keep stirring so that sugar dissolves well.

4. Keep stirring at a low flame and let the mik thicken a little. Take 1 tablespoon of milk in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon corn flour to it.Mix well to avoid lumps.

5. Now, add the cornflour and milk mixture in the boiling milk and mix well.

6. Keep stirring the milk occasionally and let it cook and thicken at a low flame until it reduces to almost half its quantity and turn into a rich creamy texture. The homemade condensed milk is ready. Turn off the heat and keep aside to let it cool .
