By submitting this form, you consent to receive emails from Minstry of Curry If you are like me and love Laddu, you have to try the recipes for Malai Laddu, Besan Laddu, and Oats Pistachio Laddu. The single-string consistency can be a bit hard to achieve as if you spent too much time testing, you may end up overcooking the syrup resulting in dry laddu. So I started to time the process which helps cook the syrup to the perfect consistency. With this simplified recipe, you can make the perfect coconut laddu every time. So here are my tried and tested tips:
Always use a timer when making the sugar syrup to avoid overcooking It takes me 6 minutes to make the syrup with ¾ cup of water and 1.5 cups of sugar in a 2-quart saucepan If you double the recipe, it will take about 8 minutes for the syrup to be ready To check for the doneness of the syrup, simply lift the spoon up and watch the last few drops of syrup dripping from the spoon. The last drops should form a thin one-line string
How to make Sugar Syrup in the Instant Pot
Add sugar and water to the Instant Pot and mix well, dissolving most of the sugar in the water. Pressure cook on Hi for 4 minutes followed by quick release. Be careful to not drop the steam water from the lid in the syrup when opening the lid. That’s all! You have the perfect sugar syrup for this laddu.
Serving
Serve them with some crispy chakli or crunchy sev and a hot cup of ginger chai.
