Mawa Coconut Jaggery Laddu Recipe – An Indian sweet made with milk solids, coconut and jaggery.
Khoya or Mawa is dried evaporated milk solids. In Indian cooking, khoya is a commonly used ingredient to make Indian sweets or curries. Today’s recipe is a variety of laddu using khoya and desiccated coconut. I am using jaggery instead of white sugar to make this laddu healthier.
