Diwali is about good food and sharing delicious homemade sweets with family and friends. These Coconut and Jaggery laddoos are a must-have at my home, and I always make a big batch to send over to friends in the lead up to the festival. A simple recipe with minimum ingredients but so much goodness! These are also gluten-free. Just make sure to use fresh coconut as the laddoos need a little bit of moisture as they cook. Store in boxes, and they’ll keep for a couple of days. Adding ghee helps rolls them out and ensure they stay moist.
