Ingredients for Semolina Laddoo:

2 tbsp desiccated coconut

Preparation of Mango Kulfi

Heat 2 tsp water and infuse saffron strands.
Blend mango with double cream and condensed milk to smooth.
Add cardamom powder and infused saffron (along with the water) to the mango-cream-milk mixture and stir.
Transfer the blend into popsicle moulds, insert sticks, and freeze for four hours.

This recipe serves 3 and takes 10 minutes to prepare.

Tips:

You can use almond milk instead of condensed milk, in which case, you need to slightly warm almond milk and add sugar, before adding the other ingredients.
Chopped pistachios and nuts can be added into the pureed mix for texture and taste.

Preparation of Semolina Laddoo

Pre-heat a thick-bottomed pan on low flame.
Add ½ tbsp ghee and roast chopped nuts until slightly brown. Set aside.
Add 1 ½ tbsp ghee, roast semolina until you get a waft of the aroma and its color changes lightly.
Stir in milk and sugar and let thicken. Once sugar dissolves, turn off the heat.

Note: to prevent semolina from clumping, add milk in parts and keep stirring.

When the heat is still intact and tolerable to touch, make lemon-sized balls.
Let the laddoos cool at least for an hour before serving.

Tips:

You can also add khoya or condensed milk instead of regular milk, in which case, you have to negate the sugar, because condensed milk already has a good dose of sweetness.
Grease your hands with a little ghee to make glossy laddoos.
You can decorate each laddoo with a stud of cashew!
Note that the semolina, while roasting, doesn’t have to become brown. It just needs to change color a little and give out an aroma.

This recipe makes 6 – 8 laddoos. It takes about 15 minutes to cook and 15 minutes to prepare.
