Coconut Ladoos.

Navratri means nine (nav) night (ratri) in Sanskrit. Festival dedicated to the worship of the Indian diety Ma Durga. During these 9 days , nine forms  of  diety are worshipped.
We prepare sweets and other vegetarian food for this festival. I am preparing coconut ladoos, as sweet start to Navratri.
It is very easy and can be made by using coconut, condensed milk and ghee.
