This recipe is extremely simple and used 5-6 ingredients:
Petha – soft, white petha (readily available in Indian stores).

Condensed Milk – for sweetness and binding.
Fresh Rose Petals – finely chopped for aroma and a pop of color.
Cardamom Powder – for a warm, traditional flavor.
Step-by-Step Recipe for Petha Rose Coconut Ladoo (condensed milk)
Step 1: Prepare the Petha Base
- Grate the petha by hand or follow from step 2.
- In a blender jar, add petha, rose petals, cardamom, and rose syrup/rose water (if using) and pulse to form a thick paste.
- In the same jar, add condensed milk and pink food color and blend further.
- Once everything is blended (it should be thick), transfer the mixture to a bowl.
(As shown below)
Step 2: Mix in the Ingredients
- Take a large bowl/bowl, add the unsweetened desiccated coconut.
- Now add the ‘petha rose mixture’ we just made.
- Pour in the condensed milk, pink food color (if needed) and then combine everything to form a sticky dough. Be cautious not to add too much condensed milk to avoid a runny mixture.
(As shown below)
Step 3: Shaping the Ladoos
- Grease your palms with a bit of ghee/butter/light oil to prevent sticking.
- Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth, bite-sized balls.
- Roll each ladoo in desiccated coconut to coat them evenly. This gives them a beautiful snowy appearance and enhances the coconut flavor.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Tips for Making Perfect Rose Coconut Ladoos
Choose Soft Petha: The softer and fresher the petha, the smoother the ladoos will be. If you are using angoori petha (which is extremely sweet), please use more coconut powder to balance the sweetness.
Organic Rose Petals: Ensure the rose petals are pesticide-free and fresh for the best aroma. If not available, use edible dry rose petals or edible rose syrup/water
Adjust Sweetness: Petha and condensed milk are both sweet; taste the mixture before adding more and add more coconut powder to balance.
Storage: Store the ladoos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or 10 days.
Garnish: You can garnish each ladoo with a few fresh rose petals, slivers of pistachio or edible silver foil (varak).
Variations to Try:
Dry Fruit Twist: Add chopped almonds, cashews, or pistachios for a crunchy texture.
Filled Center: Enhance the taste further by adding some chopped dry fruits filling in center.
Saffron Infusion: Soak a few saffron strands in warm milk and mix them in for a rich flavor.
Substitutes for the Ingredients:
No Fresh Rose Petals: you can use edible dry rose petals, but reduce the quantity to half as dried petals have a stronger flavor.
No Petha: you can try using mawa (khoya) or a condensed milk and powdered sugar mix for a different version.
Want to Make them Vegan: replace condensed milk with coconut condensed milk for a vegan version.
