Paan Coconut Laddoo – a delicious laddoo made using paan ( betel leaves ) and coconut with gulkand (rose petals jam) stuffing.
Festive season is already here and festivals are incomplete without homemade sweets. Here is a delicious laddoo which can be made at home easily. Paan coconut laddoos are made using paan (betel leaves), coconut and condensed milk with a stuffing of gulkand.
We are in the midst of Navratri, a nine day festival dedicated to Goddess Durga. Each day of Navratri has a dedicated colour and significance attached to it. For the second day of Navratri, the colour was green. I prepared these green paan laddoos as offering to Goddess Durga.
