Pistachio Coconut Ladoo

Today is Holi and around the holidays I like making both indulgent and healthy-ish desserts. 

This Pistachio Coconut Ladoo is made with just 1 tablespoon of ghee and it’s scrumptious. It goes perfectly with a cup of tea.

What is a Pistachio Coconut Ladoo?

Pistachio Coconut Ladoo is a healthy-ish and fragrant Indian-inspired dessert.

The nuts and coconut are dry roasted, then the mixture is lightly roasted with ghee and blended with your fragrant Indian flavors – cardamom, rose water, and edible roses. The concoction is delicious and a healthy-ish treat that pairs well with a cup of tea.

Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

This recipe can be made vegan. You can replace ghee with coconut oil.

This recipe is already gluten-free.

Where can I find Edible Rose Petals?

Amazon is your friend. 🙂 

There are a couple of brands that I recommend. I used this brand, but I also love Suncore Foods brand.

Tips on making Pistachio Coconut Ladoo:

  • Dry saute the pistachio, cashews, and coconut separately as they all cook at different times.
  • Lightly saute the nuts and coconut in ghee.
  • Pulse the nuts along with edible rose and spices.
  • Roll into round ladoos. 
  • Refrigerate and enjoy!

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
