Coconut ladoo is one of the most popular sweet in India made for any special occasion and festivals. You can find many variations to these coconut balls and everyone usually loves them. Gulkand is a sweet rose petal preserve and widely used in India for making sweets, ice creams, milkshakes, mitha paan etc. It helps keeping the body cool and best for this summer season. So, I finally decided to make some Gulkand coconut ladoos today..

Keep 1/2 cup of the grated coconut separately to use it in the end.

It is unbelievable that I was thinking of the same thing but in modak form! At the last minute I went with a guava flavor and tried a recipe with cream instead of condensed milk. Will post it tomorrow.
