    Tapioca Coconut Laddus

    Tapioca Laddus (Pindaloo ke Laddu) were my grandma’s favourite when I was a child. She loved eating these as a snack in the late afternoon. I still remember how she would pop a whole laddu in her mouth and chew it with her gums as she had not a single tooth left to help her in her endeavour. She would still enjoy all the juicy bites and every bit of it. It was more fun watching her eat than eating it myself.

    Ingredients:
    5 cups grated Tapioca (2 medium size)
    2 cups Coconut (finely grated)
    1/2 can Nestle/Clic cream (175gm)
    Sugar – 1 cup

    Method:
    1. Wash and clean the tapioca in running water. Boil them in a big pot of water. When they are done their thick skin would start cracking. Remove, drain and let them cool down first, then grate them coarsely.
    2. Add 1 1/2 cups of the grated coconut, sugar and cream to the grated tapioca.
    3. Mix everything well. Make them into round balls (laddus) then roll them in the grated coconut and set aside. Place them all one by one in coloured baking cups and chill them in the fridge. Enjoy when chilled.

      These sound incredibly delicious and I’m pretty sure my grandma would have loved these too. It’s so nice when food reminds us of those long gone. I call them food memories.

      Sounds like a great recipe: is Nestle/Clic cream condensed milk? As for the tapioca is flour alright to use? Your granny sure knew good stuff!

        Thank you Marie. Nestle/Clic cream is unsweetened heavy cream and not condensed milk which are milk solids. You could also use 35% whipping cream. And using tapioca flour will make them sticky and pasty. Grated tapioca gives them a chewy texture and they taste delicious when mixed with the cream and sugar. Do not over cook the tapioca till it gets powdery then you’ll not be able to grate it. Another option is to grate the raw tapioca and steam it in the steamer till its colour changes. Since it is a laborious process I resorted to the other one. I hope this helps.
