    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???

      Manjula Jain
      October 28, 2015 at 10:40 am

      Neha, if you want to keep them more then few days you need to refrigerate them.

    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.

    Sunanda
    July 15, 2015 at 5:54 am

    Do we have to make the laddos when the mixture is very hot. Will it get hardened if the mixture becomes cold.

      Manjula Jain
      July 15, 2015 at 10:46 am

      Sunanda, ladoo mixture should be hot enough that you can handle it, please don’t burn yourself
