Method

1. Place the semolina on the stove with a small piece of butter and stir constantly over low heat until it changes color and becomes golden-tinted.
2. Remove it from the pot and leave it aside.
3. Also place the almonds, walnuts, and raisins with a little butter over low heat and stir briefly before adding them to the semolina and mixing.
4. In a bowl, put the sugar and 1 cup of desiccated coconut with ground cardamom and the liquid milk over the semolina mixture and knead them by hand; you can add a little milk as needed.
5. Once you have a soft dough, shape the Indian ladoos by hand into rounds — see the picture — or as you prefer.
6. Garnish the Indian ladoos with nuts as desired and serve.
