Hello,
Can icing sugar be used instead of fine sugar? What about brown sugar, can this work and give the same results?
Thank you

Hi Manjula.
Just a little query.
Do these laddus tend to get spoilt coz of use of milk??? Do we need to refrigerate them, if we wanna store them for a longer period of time???
Neha, if you want to keep them more then few days you need to refrigerate them.
Hi I tried it today…turned out well but became dry aftr sometime. ..what went wrong…pls guide
rohini, may be little more hot milk.
Amazing n looks easy…wil definitely prepare tomw..hope it turns out well coz i am not a expert cook.
Can we leave out the coconut? Will this change the recipe anyway like taste and ease of making. I am not crazy about coconut in sweets.
Do we have to make the laddos when the mixture is very hot. Will it get hardened if the mixture becomes cold.
Sunanda, ladoo mixture should be hot enough that you can handle it, please don’t burn yourself
