If desiccated coconut is very coarse, I suggest blending it in the mixer for a while.
Dry roast the chopped nuts and set aside.
Mix together coconut and condensed milk.
Begin to heat until the mixture turns hot and comes together as a mass.
Add cardamom powder and nuts.
When the mixture comes down to warm temperature, take small portions and roll to balls. Roll them immediately in coconut.
Store coconut ladoo in a air tight jar and refrigerate.
