Comment by madhu groy
does dry grated coconut means dessicated coconut found in stores or the fresh grated coconut thats dried? i also wanted to know if i can use fresh grated coconut! kindly advice!
Reply :- Hi Madhu, You can find dried coconut powder in any indian grocery stores. Its fresh grated coconut that is sun dried. If you are not able to find it, you can also use fresh grated coconut instead. |
Comment by Pinky Thomas Hi Rani, I wanted to know if the evaporated milk can be replaced with regular full cream milk.Thanks.
Reply :- Yes you can. |
Comment by Nivedita Chirantan Hey,
i didnt understand what is evaporated milk? plz explain and do you have the recipe of motichur ladoo or bundi ladoo
thnks Reply :- Evaporated milk is milk in which most of the water content is removed. It is thicker and richer. You can find it in cans and it gives a nice taste to the ladoos. I will try to add the recipe for bhoondi ladoo soon. |
