Ever Since I saw Bhawana's Coconut Laddu's I wanted to try them. The Uma made these Apple Laddu's I was inspired. So looked into my pantry and found some mango pulp and then I decided to make Mango Coconut Laddu's for Diwali. They were really good with a subtle mango flavour. These are the easiest laddu's you can make and they are quick to make too. I could make about 22 laddu's using 2 cups of coconut.

Ingredients
2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut, you can use fresh grated coconut too.
1/2 cup Sweetened Kesar infused mango pulp, you can use plain too I happened to have this.
3/4 cup Condensed milk, Add more if you want it sweeter.
2 tbsp broken almonds or cashews
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup or more shredded coconut for rolling.

Method

1. Roast the coconut in a thick pan till the raw smell goes.
   
2. Add the mango pulp and cook till it dries up.
   
3. Add the condensed milk and cook till the mixture thickens and leaves the side of the pan.
   
4. Mix the almonds and raisins.
   
5. Remove from heat.
   
6. Make small rounds while the mixture is warm, do not allow to cool.
   
7. Roll them in extra coconut and keep aside.
   
8. Cool and store in airtight container.
